Picking a Release for pf

Howdy, just picking your brain on this. I use 13.2-RELEASE for my home firewall, nothing fancy, just a few rules on pf and DHCP server. I want to upgrade but undecided for 13.3 or 14.0. I don't think there are significant upgrades to networking/pf on 14.0 so leaning towards 13.3 as my perception is that perhaps is a bit more stable? Thoughts? I appreciate y'alls input.
 
Always run the latest available version. That's the one that has the most bug fixes, that's the one I most care about.

I will never understand users' insistence on running old code developers have long since lost interest in. The only bug fixes 13 will get are those that have already gone into main and aren't too much of a pain to merge back. Main will always have more fixes than 14, which will have more fixes than 13.
 
Speaking of latest available versions, you might want to skip 14.0 and go for 14.1. BETA2 is now available, it won't be long until it's released.

In my case, even though it is just me @ home, I still would like to run the most stable version possible but I do see your point, very valid. Imma go to 14, thank you!
