chainring help

[ren]

I have a Trek 6500. I need to replace the chainring. Where can I get
compatibility info? Do you have any opinions of LX versus Vuelta SE?
And can I use the old Bontrager crank that came with the bike with a
new chainring? I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm learning and I
have to increase my learning curve exponentially before I do this. I
have had a few bad experiences with LBS's so I want to know the facts
before I go back into the trenches.

Thanks,
Ren

Which chainring? Inner, middle, outer?

What crankset is it?
