Geoffrey,

If you are looking to have lots of (mostly minor) updates and upgrades, 
use newest normal release.  I actually like the bleeding edge, so I used

to download alpha versions and run them on dev testing machines.
LTS version is less demanding and lower maintenance, but I like 
semi-annual major updates..
If you want a version to learn with use one version back from the newest

in both cases.  There will be more how-to information on the net and the

issues will be better defined.
