I'd recommend the latest available version.

Installing in basemod would keep all the kernel modules in one place at the 
expense of a slight increase in size.

When ever you get a message of this type, look at the output from dmesg. At a 
guess, I suspect it is complaining about a mismatch in the "magic number" as 
a result of using a different compiler version for ndiswrapper - If the 
kernel was compiled with gcc-3.4, and ndiswrapper with gcc-4.0, that message 
would be generated.
