Angular2, which language should be used as the preferred one

I am new to Angular 2, and I've learned that developers can use type script, ES6 and ES5 to develop, and I know that type script is the superset of ES6 and ES5.

since the syntax is totally different between type script and ES6/ES5, which one should be the prime one to use? and what is the reason?

thanks
