You won't get the full sata 3 speed on a sata 2 interface but you will still get an improvement in speed using any SSD if it is replacing a normal disk drive.

If the sata 3 drive is a similar price to a sata 2 or you plan to upgrade hardware in the future, then no reason not to get the sata 3 based ssd.
