This really depends on your target. For x86_64 the biggest 
difference is auto-vectorization with avx/avx2 which is better in 
later LLVM versions.
The non-X86 are usually more mature in later LLVM versions. E.g. 
for MIPS64 you should at least use LLVM 3.7.

Put into a simple rule:
- For X86 there is no big difference
- For non-X86 use the latest LLVM version

Kai
