NT Emacs runs as standalone app and uses some win32 widgets while cygwin 
emacs runs inside
a terminal. While you can do a lot of fancy stuff on a terminal I would 
say go with NT Emacs.
And though http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/21.3/ has been empty for 
months you can get
version 21.3 for windows at http://www.crasseux.com/emacs/ among other 
places.
