I don't know. In 8.1.7.4 they haven't failed me once. I haven't yet worried about fixpacks for 9ir2, but I'm sure they'll arrive at some stage... :D

I can't tell you what to do but my gut feel would be to go with it rather than 10i or 9ir1. No hard data to back this up, just past experience creeping in...
