Vi, of course. (Actually, I like VIM as it has nice pretty colours :) )

VI is nice, small, quick to load, and almost always on rescue disks and 
the like. Emacs, on the other hand, is a huge bloated editor, that has 
various nice features (there's nothing you can't do in emacs) but is far 
too complex if you just want a simple editor (imo)

I'd say, learn whatever makes you feel comfortable - just make sure that 
VI is in there somewhere :)
