    If I would like to experiment with BASIC for MS-DOS, which one would you recommend? PowerBASIC?, Microsoft Visual Basic for DOS?, Microsoft QuickBasic?

    If you don't need to compile programs (and if you're just experimenting then you don't), MS-DOS 5 and 6 include Qbasic and it works well enough to get a feel for the language. After you're comfortable with it, you can move on to QuickBasic (available here) -or probably PowerBasic. So playing with the basic already included with MS-DOS would be my recommendation.
