You have not given us any criteria that you are evaluating on.  Unless 
you have a very specific reason for not using the tip of the tree, that 
is the version to use.

The more recent versions of u-boot fix bugs or limitations of the 
previous versions, are generally very compatible with previous versions, 
and are all very stable.  The result is that the latest source is always 
the best choice.

To be specific: none of the above, but rather
   git clone git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot.git

U-boot is like Commissioner Dreyfus in "The Pink Panther Strikes Again." 
"Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better."
