Upgrading to .net from VB 6.0

I don't know if this is the place for these questions, but here goes:
I am a VB 6.0 developer & I have a new project using VB.net. I don't know
what to buy.
Should I get Visual Studio Enterprise or Professional?
If professional, can I do the Special Edition?
Do I get a full or upgrade version? I'm upgrade eligible because I have VB
6.0. I still need to use VB 6.0 professional so I don't want an upgrade to
wipe it out. Will an upgrade just install Visual Studio.net & leave my VB 6.0
alone?

Thanks for any help. I've been surfing, but getting confused on the options.

Which edition of VB/VS.NET you need is up to what you are going to do. But
if anything more than just learning some basic programming in .NET, you'd
better get at least VS.NET Professional.

Regardless what edition of VS/VB.NET, it can co-exist with VB5/6 in the same
box without issues (basically).
