Here is the current distribution: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html. Obviously, you want the lowest possible API to make sure that you can reach as many users as possible. Targeting 1.6 will lose almost 8% of your potential audience. Targeting 2.0+ will lose more than 20%.
