It depends.

Do you want the fastest performance possible or do you want all the possible  
features?

2.5 is probably the fastest, but 3.x has more features.

You can install at /LocalApps and use as any users

Yes, 2 or 3 frameworks.... but I believe it is pretty straightforward what  
is required if you go to OmniWeb's homepage.....  
http://www.omnigroup.com/Software/OmniWeb/3/ I think....

I believe they are .pkg files, which you will want to gunzip and then 'gnutar vxf'

Install the .pkg as root
