I sucked at Earthworm Jim as a kid, but I'm a lot better at it now. The levels are pretty innovative. The Win 95 seems like the absolute best version from what you describe, but the real question is if it supports controllers. If it's keyboard controlled, I'll stick with the Sega CD version. Saving unlocked levels is great. The best I can do with the console versions is push button codes to go to whatever level I want. Same effect, but it involves obscure codes so it's certainly not as user friendly. One thing I'll say. When compared to the SNES version, it's a lot easier to tell what objects are places I can walk. The SNES version has higher color detail, but sometimes the result is making whole environments look confusing.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
