I think exactly the same. The only reasons I can imagine are that perhaps a feature can happen to be deprecated between these releases and the internals of the implementation of a particular part can change significantly and this can lead to notable change in performance of a particular algorithm some production service may rely on. As for the right choice for a fresh project - IMHO it's always the latest working version available, even a beta as long as everything you need works fine in it.
