We've been using IOS 15.0(1)SY6 with success for some time, and more
recently we have upgraded to IOS 15.0(1)SY7a with no problems so far. We
primarily use these devices as PE routers in an MPLS L3VPN network.

You could also try IOS 15.1. If you happen to have any Sup720 devices in
your network then keep in mind that IOS 15.0 doesn't support those, but
IOS 15.1 does. I have no experience with IOS 15.1. We tried IOS 15.1
when we started using Sup2T but were hit by a Netflow related bug
(CSCui17732) and the fix for this first appeared in IOS 15.0(1)SY6, some
time before IOS 15.1(1)SY3 which also fixed it. So we chose the 15.0
release to get the fix faster.
