You asked,
[Which] LaTeX version should I download?
and you mentioned that
I just want to build math formulas that look nice.
Your question appears to imply that you expect there to be various manifestations of LaTeX executables, each with various amounts of power or sophistication. But that's now how LaTeX "works".
The two questions you should be asking are: "Once I've downloaded and installed a suitable complete TeX distribution on my computer, which LaTeX document class should I employ?" And, "Which LaTeX packages (if any) should I load in the preamble of my LaTeX documents in order to make typesetting various mathematical expressions straightforward?"
Regarding your first question: It sounds like even a "basic" document class such as article will do fine. Not knowing what kinds of mathematical typesetting needs you may have, it's not really possible to give an in-depth answer to the second question.
