V2. It's a legacy version.
I would use the V3 as a default as it has wider support with other languages https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/blob/master/docs/consumer.md
V4 has yet to be fully documented

The docs could be clearer on this point

I'll review those docs next week, and try to make it clearer. They were introduced with each new spec version, but support serialising multiple versions (adding to this confusion)
