Well on my new forum I've gone ahead and used the latest beta version of vBulletin to see how it is. No bugs or anything encountered so far.

I have to have someone do it so I only do Gold releases and I usually have to wait cause some of my mods aren't ported to the new version.

I usually wait until the final version but I have a test forum to try release candidates and Beta mods and if they seem ok and not buggy I will and have put the odd one on my live forum.

i don't screw with betas, too much risk involved and I have a high traffic site were the users could give a damn less about the extras, they just want to be able to post to each other.

I generally run beta's/RC's more than I run stable releases. (and not public beta's either) In a total of three years, I've probably run a stable release for only 6 months in total.

There aren't really many features that are must haves, just nice little extras. But there is one now that caused me to hold off on upgrading a while back while I updated it.

Yup. Same here, the only bugs I noticed where misplaced <i> </i> tags in some ACP windows, which I reported to vBs bug tracker. (That was beta 4, fixed in b5)

It depends on what modifications I use - I generally use the earliest version that the major mods will work with.

For example, the portal systems I use are not compatible with SMF 2.0 yet, so I'm using SMF 1.1.4, but if I were just running a forum without the portals, or the portals were compatible with 2.0, I'd use that version instead.
