I am running CentOS 5.4 and the latest version of Postfix it has on the repository is version 2.3.3. After looking at the Postfix site I found out that that version is no longer updated.

Is it worth downloading the source code for the latest stable version and manually compile and install it? Or is it worth sticking with the version the repository has? Thanks

I recommend staying with your distributions maintainers version. Like
noted before me, unless there's a huge requirement for a feature not
available in RHEL / CentOS's version...just keep using what you have.
Simon Mudd's is also someone who dedicates a lot of time into his
RPM's however I have never tested them and don't know what happens in
regards to future patches and how Yum handles this.

Only thing I would add is that if you are running SpamAssassin, update it regardless.
