I'm building a clean installation of Windows XP (with POSReady updates) dedicated to running SC and IB TWS (all other tasks are done in Linux Lite and Arch Linux on another machine). I have the following components shown in the old installation:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition with SP1

According to the release log the last versions of SC compiled to support Windows XP are:

1504
1547-1563

Which VC++ Runtime should be used with SC versions shown above? I can see the following runtimes available:

2005
2008
2010
2012
2013
2015/2017

I realize that SC is primarily tested on Windows 7 but I have more experience with XP, a switch over to Win7 is on to-do-later list.
