Here are the improvements of 8.6 over 8.5:

KCID=60230
After that comes 9.x:

I think it comes down to how much disk space and RAM you have. 8.6 is a good
steady system (my server runs it happily, using 20MB with minimum
extensions); 9.1 is even better on my personal Mac but it uses 40MB, albeit
with the standard amount of extensions.
