Hello Jim, As the rest suggested, I'd go for NASM too. It's plain and easy to get ongoing. It was my favourite when I wrote a couple of ASM utilities like APPEND.
The drawback is that once you get used to it, you start reading assembly written for MASM or TASM and you happen to find a different syntax in what refers to memory indirection. And no matter if you think that NASM syntax is more coherent (I do, or perhaps I do because I started with NASM), most of the code out there follows the MASM/TASM syntax and you need to get used to it.
