Either of these should be fine.
5.3.1 has been out for longer than 5.4, but I don't recall seeing any
major problems
reported with 5.4.
   The most likely source of problems would be any of the MIB modules that
have been recently re-worked.  (e.g. the various mfd-rewrites, or the HAL-based
memory and cpu information).

  If those MIBs look OK on your kit, then you should be fine.

Oh, and "exec OID ...." is no longer supported on a stock 5.4, if
that's relevant to you.
You'd need to use "extend OID ..." instead.

Shouldn't be, no.
We might have introduced some extra APIs since 5.2.x, but anything that
worked there should still work with the later releases.
