Welcome Peter,

This is difficult, because there are of course advocates for both, in
particular the developers.
My personal recommendation is Frescobaldi.
In combination with the documentation it will help you a lot.
http://lilypond.org/manuals.html
I strongly recommend to read the part "Text input" and "Learning"
completely and test the things in Frescobaldi in parallel.

> 2. What version do you recommend I download for MAC OS 10.6.8 and 10.4.6 ?

I never had problems with the latest version called 'unstable':
