Upgrade from 11.3 to 11.? (recommendations)

We are currently running 11.3.0 HF5 on both LTMs and GTMs. I was thinking about upgrading to 11.5.1 HF5, but now I'm considering going to 11.6 HF1. Reading through all the release notes and known issues gets a bit overwhelming. Can anyone advise what I should do here? It would be much appreciated.

    11.5.1 with the latest hotfix has been out for much longer than 11.6.0. Unless you have some specific feature you need in 11.6.0, I'd go for 11.5.1.

     

    Check my reply in this older thread for some general guidance on selecting a version for production:

    I have another question. We have GTMs that talk to LTMs. Is it ok if I upgrade the LTMs one weekend and the GTMs the next? The GTMs will be on 11.3.0 HF5 and the LTMs will be on 11.5.1 HF5. Anyone had any issues with being on different versions?
