1.6rc1 is the latest stable release of the 1.6 code path. 1.4.* is the 
latest "STABLE" release (but is quite outdated) and 1.9.1 is he latest 
dev release going towards 2.0

The short answer is use 1.6rc1 unless you REALLY need something in the 
2.0 stream, which you probably wont.

Unsure, as i've never run 1.9.1. 1.6 is fantastically stable for me, 
and you'll find that about 90% of the people on this list are running 
it.
