Wait a minute... what do you mean with "least amount of problems"? If you mean easy installation, then PODBot mm might not be the ideal choice... yet.

As biohazerd87 correctly stated, it requires MetaMod to run. You would have to d/l MetaMod and set it up manally, and then you would have to make it load PODBot mm manually... it's not all that hard, but I'm saying that as a rather experienced comp user. For a newb, it may all appear very confusing.

If you want to try PB 2.6mm, I suggest you download THIS:
http://www.geocities.com/scarletspidernz/podbot/PreSetupPack-R2.43.zip
As the file name suggests, it's a package that already contains the bot itself PLUS metamod, and the best of it is: It's all pre-configured so you don't have to fiddle around very much. Here's the thread with further links and instructions on where to unzip the file:

Pod-Bot is the best bots, they have less error and bugs and they are really easy to edit and stuff. Go with pod-bot; they are the best ;)

Heyyo,

I suggest using YAPB, it's easier to install than PODbot mm, and works fine for me when I use it. :)

PODbot mm is much more highly developped since it's a frequently updated bot, but I say YAPB doesn't have any probs that I've noticed, and tends to run quite like PODbot 2.5 but better, so like the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." :D
