Beyond TV 4.5 and Hauppauge PVR-150MCE

I just got the BTV 4.5 + PVR-150MCE + Firefly bundle from snapstream. I am deciding which Hauppauge drivers to use.

I have both a Beyond TV 4.5 install disc and a Hauppauge install disc that came with the bundle. The install guide says to install from the Beyond TV disc. However I notice that the Hauppauge drivers on the Beyond TV disc are pretty old - 2/23/2005 - whereas the Hauppauge disc has drivers that are much newer - 4/12/2006. I also downloaded the latest driver release from www.shspvr.com and these are dated 4/19/2006.

It appears driver issues are a pretty big deal with the PVR-150 series so I would like to prevent them from the start. Should I install the newest drivers or should I install the old ones on the Beyond TV disc? Since I can use the PVR-150 for more than just Beyond TV I'd rather have the latest drivers but if there is some reason why this is bad, please LMK!
 
Looks like I'm using driver version 4.0.43.24103 from 4/13/2006 for my 150MCE in WinXP w/SageTV. Device Manager shows it as Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II (26xxx).
