We are going to start an eval with 10.4R2, but all of our MX's (about 40 MX960 and MX480s) are running 9.5R4.3 as that was the last real stable release we found. However, it is missing a number of features as well (and had a few annoying bugs), so I am hoping 10.4R2 ends up being decent. All DPC based here. 10.4R1 I have not been impressed with, so I just held off on it.
