I would really stick with 4.3.1 unless you have some very specific reason to utilize the older releases.  It fixes a lot of defects.  We've been waiting 3+ months for some 4.2.3 SMUs at this point to address some issues that are fixed in 4.3.1.  We also have a fair list of defects that aren't fixed in 4.3.1 either, so converging is always a challenge.

If you do MPLS-TE, I would be careful of the problem with RSVP and LSPs over 2^32-1 not establishing (for example). - CSCug76950.

Other bugs, like the "port 5 stats don't work" (CSCud54598) are also fixed in 4.3.1, so you really should be looking at 4.3.1.
