My answer would be Windows 10 the reason is because it's offered free and life cycle support makes it windows 7 End of mainstream support was January 2015, windows 8 January 2018 so sooner or later you will have to upgrade, regarding government and large companies they are counting on the extended support but will end up upgrading as well.
For a basic user that runs applications only for daily basis I would suggest Windows 7 as the best and Windows 10 is the second best one. Windows 7 uses less resources than windows 10 and supports almost everything, but windows 10 is more stable and well organized. For windows 8.1, I think it's out of the competition because it's not stable and use high amount of resources.
Windows 7 is the best for me
