Definitely the former, and the latter can only have bug fixes - nothing
that changes semantics.

My answer is the most recent has the most bugs fixed.  New ones may
appear but 99.999% of the time they are in new features.

On Windows you definitely want to be on 3.3.6 or higher. Stupid virus
scanners, backup agents, indexing software and the plethora of other
crud running on a typical Windows desktop like to open files
applications have just closed which then prevents the applications from
doing other things to the files such as deleting or renaming them.  (The
last corporate PC I used wouldn't let me do complete Subversion
checkouts due to the stupid backup agent interfering).

3.3.7 introduced new features which you don't want people to see for
version stability purposes.  3.3.8 has virtual tables API changes and
the virtual tables code isn't mature yet, especially error handling and
memory issues.
