Normally, it is a bad idea to use the latest CVS source for important work. Instead, you normally use the latest official release. Is this different for U-Boot?
For any _current_ work you really better use current sources, i. e. top of tree. So far (*), U-Boot gets release only very infrequently. If you stick with a "release" version you will have serious problems at the time when you try to get your patches merged into the official source tree.
So if you start any new project I really recommend not only to start with top of tree, but also to update your sources regularly.
(*) This will hopefully change Really Soon Now.
