I am doing a problem on image permanence for large format inkjet. Should I use Delta E or Delta E 2000? Why and what is the difference between the two?

Using either the simple CIELAB Delta-E or CIEDE2000, would be appropriate for your work. The CIEDE2000 equations incorporate some corrections for nonuniformity in the perception of color differences across the CIELAB space. Thus, if it is important for you to compare the magnitude of a color differences for widely varying colors, CIEDE2000 might be a better choice. However, if you are simply looking at quantifying change in the samples and you will always be comparing like colors (e.g. red changed by so much for one technology and a different amount for another technology) then the simpler Delta-E equations will be more than adequate. You really can’t go wrong with either. If I were to choose, I would use the simple Delta-E equations for this application since the added complexity of the CIEDE2000 equations are not likely to provide any additional insight.
