I'm on 14.1 on every customer I have, so far no issues. One customer required 14.x (SSLO), otherwise we went with 14.1 anyway since it has been around for a while now. And it has a usable dashboard. :)

Watch out for licenses differences in subscriptions and other add-ons.

  I'm running 14.1.0.5 on 4 installations and 14.1.0.6 on one. All are bigip i5000 or i7000.

  Thank you ecce. I was bit confused, whether to go with 0.5 or 0.6. Will go with the latest as its there for more than 3 weeks and believe no major bugs .

What license difference should I be looking out for?

  SSL FWD is being fased out, being replaced with SSLO, which is licensed per box and not as subscription. If you have a FWD license you can convert it. So SSL VISIBILITY , as far as I know, should use SSLO and URLDB license. For 13.x, using SSL intercept iApp, you normalt go with SWG, which included SSL FWD.
  
  I have not dived in to AWAF yet, but some functions there were available i FRS and maybe other modules as well earlier.
  
  Thats what I have encountered so far, I would Contact an F5 SE and ask them for each case if there are something I should know regarding licenses before major version upgrading.
