We should generally choose to use the latest version that is being used by the most people. Choosing the very latests, bleeding edge, was just released this morning version simply because it exists means that our software just wont work for most people. We can't expect ordinary users to grab the latest version. We should NOT be expecting even our developers to grab the latest versions. People stick with the stable versions of their distributions for good reasons. I know, I say this all the time, and people don't listen. :-P
