Depends on the situation. If you've gotten an IP range assigned by your
service provider, you can use a public IP address. If you're using NAT
(masquerading) on the Internet gateway, you'll need to use the private
address ranges you listed above (as well as configure the gateway to
forward HTTP packets to the proper internal machine).
Simple situation: put private IP addresses on client and server
machines, put them on same network and away you go. If you're not fond
of typing IP numbers to connect to the server, add the server's IP and
hostname to /etc/hosts on the client machine (or you could configure DNS
on the server and point the client to that for name resolution -- which
is better depends on network size and how often it changes).

Unless you've skipped something in the description of the problem above,
there's not much practical networking going on... :)
