The ones I deem necessary.
Laptop currently runs sp4 and stuff.

There's no reason to install a fix that fixes a problem you don't have.

Most likely all of the 'critical updates'. Look at the description of the patch that prevents Blaster. It says something like "fixes a hole that prevents an attacker from controling your computer". Isn't that what all the patches say though? You might as well just have all of them - especialy if you don't exactly know what the security patches even do.
