To choose the best suitable transformation, refer to geographic_transformation.pdf document which is localized in ArcGIS instalation directory in Documentation subfolder.
On page 14 there're ED_1950_To_WGS_1984_... transformation listed with the area of use. Choose the one which cooresponds to your data localization. (ED_1950_To_WGS_1984_1 has the widest range of use.)

If it's still hard to determine which transformation to chose, you may try to find it by coordinates - the documents with coordinate ranges are available at Knowledge Base article 21327 - Select the correct geographic (datum) transformation when projecting between datums.
