I wouldn't go above Leopard on that Mac even with the RAM maxxed out.
It's just not up to anything more.
Even Leopard is likely to stress it, but it fixes a lot of lingering issues that Tiger has and lots of software requires Leopard (as the minimal supported OS) so Leopard is probably best for it.
...But if you only have the stock 1GB RAM then you should not go above Tiger. Later versions of the OS need much more RAM to operate well.
