Here at Liberty University, we are running 6.4.3.6 & 6.4.3.7 in our Production environment. I would recommend now running the latest 6.4.3.x GA which is 6.4.3.9.
I believe 6.4.3.x introduced some feature improvements over 6.4.2.x. Unless there is a new must-have feature (new model hardware support, for instance), we avoid ED releases in a Production environment. We only start looking at a new major release after the second GA version since many new bugs can be found after the initial GA release. We have HPE/Aruba support & engineering people who consult us on when a new major release is considered stable. We have been running 6.4.3.x for quite some time with no major concerns.

Currently running 6.4.2.13, 7210 and 215s. Asked my HPE rep and they said we can stay on the same version unless we run into an issue that needs addressing?

Looking at the versions currently available on the web site I see the latest GA version is 6.4.3.9 and the latest ED version is 6.4.4.8. I was looking to see what others are running and what their recommendation would be. We are currently running AP models, 134, 135 and 93H.
