Generally you should pick a markup language and write your code to that, and
your choice of markup language will determine the Doctype. Writing tag soup
then trying to guess what Doctype best fits it is pretty much doomed to
failure.
This side of the millennium, browser support for stylesheets is good enough
to switch to HTML 4.01 Strict[1]. We haven't yet reached the stage where
using any form of XHTML is useful for the (vast) majority of authors.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
[1] With a few rare exceptions ... well ... one exception. The start
attribute for ordered lists, but that doesn't get used often.
