Panther would be my recommendation as far as overall "speediness" is concerned, and it's still a very up to date OS. If at all possible though, I would suggest upgrading to a bit more RAM.

I have an iBook G3 500 w/ 256mb RAM and Airport. I run Tiger on it just fine. It's good for an app or two to run together.
I do some light PhotoShop stuff and web authoring. I would say the vram is the weakest link.
Unfortunatly it is dying a slow death from its portable abuse.
