I think it should be based on your specific requirements. If you want to setup a production box and does not have much time in hand to troubleshoot, then you must go for mod_perl 1.x/Apache-1.x latest stable versions.
However, if you have time in hand & want to learn a bit about Apache/mod_perl, then 2.x would be better. For any slightly large project, you're likely to face problems & it's fun to debug as you'd get to know the code better. I'd also think mod_perl 1.x series may be discontinued after a while, as 2.x gets to be used widely (however, it may be a while). I have been trying to move a large application from mod_perl 1.x to 2.x. There had been many hiccups now & then and I had to install latest of version of all components in my tech stack (perl 5.8.0, latest CGI/DBI/DBD ...etc.) and had to tweak my configurations. I found few issues in the process and I've reported them here. From my experience, it's a bit long journey, but quite interesting.
