On this front, I seem to be having problems making the microphone work under MacOSX. I get messages "primitive failed" under all three versions. Any thoughts?

For most everyday use, I'd say the Carbon version is the one to use. Pretty much everything seems to work as far as I've tried, and it's better than the Classic version (when using OS X) since you don't have to start up the Classic environment, etc.
The Cocoa version is promising, but last I checked it still has a serious problem with events and/or screen updates, which makes the UI feel quite slow. Plus there are still a few missing features e.g. full screen mode. Eventually these things will be addressed, I'm guessing.
(I personally switched back to using Squeak on OS 9, solely because there wasn't 3-button mouse support available on OS X. Although I believe Marcel was adding support for this to the Cocoa version.)

If I understand it correctly there seem to be several different versions:
- Carbon
- Cocoa
- Classic
Is there a preferred version (I've only played with the Cocoa version so far) ? And a list of which one has what (if any ) feature running under Mac OS X ? [eg. I've noticed full screen doesn't seem to work in the Cocoa version - is anything else not working in it?]
Thanks
