It depends on whether you are using Oracle Applications or not (financials etc). All current releases use form 4.5, but 11i, which is due out in November (HAH!!), will use Forms 6, skipping forms 5 altogether.

Generally I would wait a while before using any new product that Oracle release, until they get the bugs out of it, but I think you're probably safe enough with forms 6.

It also depends on whether you want to web enable your forms...
