it's not a silly question.
you should go by the date that's on your medical diploma.

definitely the date of grad and not post grad. Otherwise, this will reflect you do not know what grad date means....... moreover if you have done residency, it will be a plus, when mentioned seperately in the application. you should not be considered old grad, if thats your apprihension, as they will look for study end date for that matter....
