Whatever the $99 a year one is... Preferred I guess. I didn't really see the point in getting anything less. It's only $99 for an entire year, so the price difference between the others if you spread it out is tiny.

There is a pretty big difference actually. The master gives you $125 K Lifetime Max...so if you have a couple of accidents requiring airlift and deco champer-you're done. The preferred is $250 K per occurance. I've heard that once you have an accident you cannot upgrade your plan (hearsay though). If you have accident that requires any kind of aftercare/physical therapy, the master plan wouldn't keep you covered for very long.
I have Preferred
I upgraded to it from Master when just those very things were pointed out to me, by a good friend that had a serious diving accident that would have used up the whole lifetime allowance just for the emergency treatment alone
.. very much worth the very small cost per year for the Preferred plan
