0.24.4 is a good, solid version. It has a few bugs, but they are
pretty esoteric, and shouldn't bite you if you are just starting.

When it comes to RedHat and derivatives, I can't give you a good
answer; I hope the community can. On the whole, I can tell you that,
at Digg, we roll our own package from the latest "stable" release.
Right now, that's 0.24.5. This method has worked quite well for us so
far, with the caveat that our *production* Puppet installation is
still small.

YMMV.
