Try out in that order.

You can start with the "old" binaries. At least that's what I do. But 
it might be that not all packages work.

The binaries are created when pkgsrc is in a stable state. After pkgsrc
were frozen for 2 weeks (to hunt most of the serious bugs out). As a
bulk build could take two weeks or longer, the resulting binaries would
not really be "current" anymore.
