Does anyone know what version of the Boost Library to use with Visual Studio 2005?

The latest version, 1.41.0.

If you're interested, Boost maintains a page with the current status of the regression tests on a variety of platforms, including Visual C++ 7.1, 8.0, and 9.0 (Visual Studio 2003, 2005, and 2008, respectively).

I have been using 1.36 for a while, and it works great. I tried 1.39 for a bit and also works good.

I find it much easier to install the package from BoostPro, since they package it specifically for various Visual Studio versions, and allow for a customized install to let you choose just what you need.
