How on earth are we supposed to know which is right for you? You know the data you need to store and which datatype you should use. If you are storing integers and floats in the same field, then decimal would be the way to go. It will ensure all stored values are decimal (float).

Use a float or double; changes are that it will store full values (3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13) with a .00 appended to it; but you should be able to just do a quick replacement in code for that.
