Hi If i were in your position i would use 3.23.x mainly because that's what the majority of hosting facilities use as their platform right now. It's a pain to develop something with all the latest and greatest features then realise you have to deploy your app on something not so upto date, if you see what i mean.
Alternatively, you could just run both 3.x and 4.x servers simultaneously on different ports and connect to which ever one you feel like using at the time.
