Unless you have a very good reason, it's best to go with
the most recent version.  Also it's important to apply
the updates that become available, which will keep you
on the most recent version.  This is true for both
physical and virtual machines.

A couple of thoughts.  You shouldn't try to upgrade
from 5.3 to 6.2.  It would be better to back up the
entire system then do a fresh install of 6.2.  Also
I'd recommend that you find another system to test
your applications on 6.2 just to make sure there
aren't any surprises.
