ISC Bind 9.2.4 verses 9.3.3

I'm getting ready to deploy a name server on RedHat ES4. I was wondering if I should grab the latest ISC Bind, 9.3.3 and build, grab the latest maintenace release 9.2.7, or just stick with the latest RedHat provided, 9.2.4.

I reviewed the new features available in BIND 9.3.0, and don't believe I need or will be utilizing any of these.

Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I reviewed the new features available in BIND 9.3
So you already dropped the 9.3 tree, so I'd say review the 9.2.7 changelog and see if your reasoning for ditching 9.3 applies there too... First thing I'd look at would be security issues. And I wouldn't ditch maint releases. If they where not necessary RH wouldn't bother releasing them.
Please make sure you hardened the box properly.
