I strongly recommend kernel 2.4.18. It is the latest stable linux
kernel, it has been out there for a few months already and seems rock
solid. Works impeccably on all machines I have installed Debian on, for
all kinds of uses (servers, desktops, etc.).

Others have already suggested using make-kpkg from kernel-package. Sure
makes your life a lot easier compiling kernels... Just read its
documentation carefully, and it should be smooth sailing (has been for
me).
