When I install a package, I usually want its latest *stable* version that is compatible with the Emacs version I run. As great as compatibility stuff is, I trust testing more, as I need to do something each day that doesn't involve debugging Emacs and my other tools. Also think about various package managers for GNU/Linux distros, which need to specify on what version of Emacs package X depends.
