In my opinion, I would suggest to stay with v6.2.2 as this is very stable, unlike v6.4.x that has bugs as outlined below. If you are not using one of these features that I have outlined then you can proceed with v6.4.0 or v.6.4.2 

• v6.4.0 - If Fortissl vpn configured with multiple portals, the user gets different IPs though he is not part of other portal. This is fixed in v.6.4.2
• v6.4.2 - If you have 2 firewalls configured on HA and the mgmt1 or mgmt2 is used as HA heartbeat interface, then it does not display in GUI and the firewall will either switch to standalone mode or keeps flapping from one firewall to another often.
