Ok well i am going to buy a retail version of OSX however it seems like there are 2 different versions.

These are the versions I found

What's in the box:

 

1) iMac Mac OS X Install Disc 1 (Mac OS version 10.5.2)

2) iMac Mac OS X Install Disc 2

3) Apple Stickers

4) Software license documents

5) Slide box for contents

 

UPDATED IMPORTANT INFO: This disc will NOT work on anything older than a current aluminum imac, it will NOT work on the old white plastic model, or anything older then that.

*****This disc is made for the Imac8,1 model. You can check your current Imac model by performing this function under Terminal;

sysctl hw.model

Which version do I need. The iMac or the Macbook or does it not matter?

Neither of those are "retail" Leopards. If it's specific to a mac model (as those are) they can't be used for boot-132 discs etc.

I think that you need Leopard retail DVD *only* not iMac or MacBook one because this won't be installed on their macs. if you tried this on PC you'll get a message saying that you cannot install on this mac as I remember the message.
