In general:
- New ratings come out every 5 years. '95, '00, '05, '10, etc.
- Virtually anything you will attend will accept the two most recent specs. Currently '00 & '05. Starting next year that will move to '05 & '10.
- SA ratings add rollbar multi-impact & fire protection that is not required for M ratings. Due to this, some tracks require SA ratings though you can usually skirt by on M ratings if you're just doing autocross.

If you can, spring for an SA2005 - it will work anywhere. If you insist on doing it on the cheap then M2005 will have to do.
Avoid M2000 & SA2000 at this point because they will be phased out next year.
