First off, CSharp, CSharp2 and CSharp3 are all different targets, although CSharp and CSharp2 share a lot implementationwise. That being said, don't use CSharp, as it will be removed for the 3.2 update. CSharp2 will have its public interface changed (basically simple renames) to align it to one of CSharp3. So if you want save 5 minutes you could start out with CSharp3 - BUT I don't know about bugs lurking in that implementation.

CSharp3 is being used in ST 3.2, in a C# port of ANLTR and the maintainer's internal projects, so I'd take it as a big clue that it does work sufficiently in those cases. Still CSharp3 lacks the kind of exposure CSharp2 has (which is used in e.g. NHibernate). Considering that the longterm plan is to obsolete CSharp2 in favor of CSharp3 you might want to try it out now.
