Generally I'd say go with 1.5.  However there are some serial port 
issues that are making me revert to 1.4.2 on my IIcx.

If you mean the /dev/tty0E device not being built by the installer 
then just get the latest version of the installer or use the 
workaround of booting single-user and "cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV all".

The "regular 1.5 files" are a "snapshot" of the official release. 
Use the latest snapshot if you want some new feature like the esp 
speedups or want to help shake down the latest code.  Otherwise stick 
with the latest release.
