Personally, I would stick with 6.0.8. I upgrade my plus to 7.0 and it takes a big hit in term of speed. If you don't have any problem with 6.0.8, stick with it.
BTW, I got the 6.0.8 to recognize the Asante Ethernet/SCSI adaptor. So, I am going to see if I can get it on the net. I have done it before with system 7.
