Advice on setting up a SE/30....

Have a newly acquired SE/30 which I'd like to reload an operating system on. I'm admittedly not familiar with the pros and cons of different operating system versions or what other programs I should load to max it's performance. For now, it would be set up to play games such as Glider, and eventually getting it online would be fantastic. I have some modems, an external Apple hard drive and an Apple CD drive all from the same era, but I don't know what's compatible or where to begin that installation adventure. I'd also like to install Word after I come across a printer.

So which version operating system should I install, and what other things (hardware and / or software) should I have on it to insure good performance? Being a novice and having scoured this board and other online resources, when all's said and done it's very confusing to choose or know what's ideal.

Thanks for your help.

 
8MB of RAM or less, OS 6.08, more then that and 7.1 looks good.

I have ethernet cards in both of my SE/30's and with 32MB of RAM OS 7.1 with OpenTransport works well.
