Cyberseeker since you are still learning, go with ePub 2. It's just going to make your life that much easier.

Possibly, but after researching this for about 15 seconds, I don't see how making it ePub3 is any more difficult than ePub2??
With Sigil you can either start a new file as an ePub3...in which case Sigil does everything for you - including requiring the .ncx for backwards compatibility (as of .9.8)
OR
You can create a fully compliant ePub2 and then use the ePub3-itizer plugin that does everything for you.
So. If I was a newb and I was going to spend my time learning ePub, I would prefer to spend it learning the latest and greatest version. But then I don't mind learning new stuff or new ways to do things....
