Probably Lua 5.1 since that's what everyone uses.

LÖVE uses LuaJIT 2.0, which is based on Lua 5.1. So Lua 5.1 is the version to learn (and it's also the version with the most learning resources available, as a bonus.)

LuaJIT also has some features unique to it, but they're relatively advanced and you don't need to know them to use LÖVE.
