I'd use the CVS Head. I've experienced a great performance increase in
the publishing task. And maybe the "Build-in support for full text
search in HTML, PDF, Word and Excel (based on Apache Lucene)" is also
already working. 

As said already, I'd give it a try, if you are new to OpenCms you have
to get it to know anyway.

Although you will some problems getting help from
the mailing list.

Because I don't know how many people are already using the CVS Head in
production resp. examining the version deeply. I didn't have a new
project and didn't have the time to upgrade.
