I believe Red is generally considered the best, but Green has become popular as it is a better compromise when using military night vision technology, which is becoming more common today.
Personally I'd say red with the naked eye. I haven't used the NV gear, but it is said (here and elsewhere) that green is better with it. But it can even be down to the person using it. Some have more sensitive receptors in different color ranges. I'd say go try them both, use stop watch and note recovery time in the same area to "I can see again" all the way up to "fully make out detail" night vision.
I don't think this is one anyone can answer for you, although generally Red is considered the best for naked eye recovery even by the military (unless they've updated their testing) for most people. YMMV of course. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
