For many software (including Visual Studio), using an older version is a very good idea. For Visual Studio, I recommend not using 2017 because new versions of Visual Studio is usually not that stable and you should definitely use an older version.
Also, Visual Studio 2015 is on the Official Microsoft tutorial for installing Apache Cordova (see the screenshot on the page) so I guess Visual Studio 2015 is the recommended version for it.

Also, when it comes to which version of VS 2015 to use, community and professional and enterprise isn't much different from each other. For the most part, community is enough for almost all development. VS 2015 Professional and Enterprise provide extra features that for the most part is not needed.
If you want to learn more about the difference between these two, check out these websites:
