I notice a lot of references to version 4.x. Is there any overwhelming reason

older version for such old equipment? If so, do any particular versions
stand out?

I would certainly recommend going with 6.x. The reason that many of our
servers still run 4.x is that 5.x got a bad reputation and there really
is no upgrade path from 4.x to 6.x. 5 and 6 default to using UFS2 and 4
uses UFS so, IMHO it's better to rebuild and taking a few hundred users
offline for a couple of hours whilst this happens isn't fun.
That's my scenario...I'm sure others have totally different reasons.
