I started using my fake Converse this weekend and it felt like I had so much more balance doing standing exercises, so I recommend the Chuck Taylors.

I much prefer flat soles for wieght training, it gives me a more steady stance and feels more stable. Especially for squats and deadlifts
 
Obviously if its cardio training, you want a good pair of running shoes
