I notice you have asked this twice and I have read all the other answers... and had quite a chuckle...
... let me give you a little Polish lesson if I may...
Your answers thus far:
Powitanie: (pronounced povitania) literally means greetings and is not really something you would say to greet another, not unless you wanted to get laughed at.
Siema: (pronounced shema) means yo - if you are a cool and hip young guy then go for it homeboy!
Czolem: (pronounced sholem) is a greeting that cub scouts use to greet each other - something I guess you are not.
Serwus: (pronounced servus) is a very old greeting that was popular maybe fifty years ago but would only get you laughed at if used now.
You could of course stick to the usual czesc and dzien dobry, but...
Czesc: (pronounced chesh) means a straight forward hello.
Dzien dobry: (pronounced gin dob-ree) means good day and is quite formal.
Nice way to say hi?
Hm...
You would impress more by saying witaj (pronounced vee-tie) which means hi/hello but in a more casual and friendly tone - something not too formal and not too generic.
It would certainly stand out because it is not a normally used or learnt phrase from non-Polish speakers. Use this and impress.
Feel free to email me for more Polish phrases and help with the language.

"Czesc" (pronounced similarly to the english word chess) is the most common and informal way. I have had lots of Polish friends, as I get on well with them, in general.
"Dzien dobry" is a more formal expression.
