samba - Sep 2010 - samba version to use on CentOS?

I see via yum that there is "samba" and there is "samba3x"
available for CentOS (my boxes are hooked to the main CentOS repo, Fedora EPEL,
and RPMFORGE).

 

'samba' is 3.0.33

'samba3x' is 3.3.8

 

Is there any down-side to upgrading to 'samba3x' and running 3.3.8
instead of 3.0.33?  I'm assuming that, in general, I should be running the
latest stable version, yes?

If you want Windows 7 support, you need Samba 3.3.x.

Which Fedora repo?  I found that FC6 RPM's usually installed OK on 
RedHat RHEL5.x but anything above was likely to need a newer glibc or 
libc (or something like that.)
