I though Express was defunct at this point, so...

Express was the old cheap-ass free version of VS. Community is a much better version, so you should definitely go for that. You're not allowed to use Community to make commercial products if your company is making more than $1 million dollars a year, though. Probably not a problem if you're a hobbyist or an indie developer.

I'd recommed that you also pick up Visual Studio Tools for Unity, which is a free add-on that makes VS and Unity talk together a lot better. Find their website at unityvs.com.

Finally, if you're a professional developer, you could shell out for Resharper, which is a tool that makes VS a lot better. It's expensive - €250, but they have a 30 day trial.
