We have been testing 6.2 SP1 against 4.2.1 and 4.3 and seem to work fine. Of 
course we do not exercise features specific to GPU and vGPU

Technically speaking, SP1 is only a rollup of hotfixes with the addition of 
vGPU functionality and support for Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.  It's not a 
release per se.  Here's the readme:
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX139788.  As a result, I'd expect support 
to be mostly based on for the included hotfixes, since that's probably what 
most of us care more about.

As to the question of sticking with 6.1 or 6.2, unless there is a functional 
reason for sticking with 6.1, and you've fully patched it; I'd recommend going 
to 6.2. Partly that's based on the EOM for 6.1 being only nine months away:
