For development purposes, you should stick with the oldest version that will actually run your code. Every time you move to a more modern version, you're leaving potential users/customers out in the cold.
If the fear of customers disatification prevents you from using a certain version of X, you should consider a deployment strategy that cuts out dependencies as much as possible. Although this will result in a larger end package and possible high amount of duplication, it is still preferable to just stop supporting popular platforms or be swamped away with bugs due to version mismatches.
