Hi Bomani,
I will advise you to uprade to v14.1, even more in a long-term thinking process with the new features available on this version and the release fixes.
F5 v14.1 provides many new features like HTTP/2 Full proxy support, multiple IP Addresses and Service Ports for a Virtual Server, AWAF ..etc. (full list here: https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/releasenotes/product/relnote-bigip-14-1-0.html)
Release 12.x is very stable and it's perfect for a production environment.
15.0 is only recommended for beta purposes or specific features, because digit ". 0" is used for short-term support (in the other hand, ".1" is longterm support).
You have more info about specific release features in release notes and f5 university ("what's new" section)
BTW, for upgrading only using CLI.
