If you want just experiment with Helios lens get 44k4 or 44m4/ 44M6 since you have the adapter ring already. I got these lenses in almost any shape and size and I keep just 44k4 because the ease of mounting. But I do not use it. These are sharp and all the cheap and interesting bokeh, but color is dull/gray (all of the 8 items were the same) and are often manufactured under the influence. So no much of excitement on my side any more. And do not pay more that 5USD for 44M4 and 15USD for 44K4; 44M5; 44M6. Do not buy 44M7 it may not work on Pentax body.
Helios 44 with 13 blades is maybe interesting and better made, but the price is too crazy.

Helios 44-3 - you can use it with Pentax original type (non flanged) adapter with infinity focus too. It just does not stay screwed on too well specially if you have not re-greased the sometimes very stiff focus mechanism.
With flanged adapter no problem if you do not need infinity focus. That is how I use mine.
BTW it is M42 (just to avoid confusion).
