I'd go with 1024x768 considering as over the years, monitor resolutions have only grown bigger, and as 800x600 screens seem to be quite rarely used these days.
Either one will work, although I doubt many people will have a 800x600 resolution monitor. For example, the monitor on an iMac G4, which is from 2002, comes with at least a 1024x768 resolution display. On the other hand an 800x600 base resolution could give a more retro look, if that's what you're going for.

As well as many lower end PC monitors seem to still have at least a vertical of 768, as on my laptop.
