4.1.x is a work in progress. 3.8.x has been around since the boards release( 2+ years ). Again, in the context of the beaglebone.
So how I view 4.1.x is that yes, it is newer, and in many cases it works fine. But not as much is working as is with 3.8.x. This is not to say that 3.8.x is the best solution for everyones problem. As it does have issues of it's own. Many / all of which may / may not be resolved with 4.1.x. For instance 3.8.x has issues with USB hotplug. Not sure if these problems have since been resolved, but hotpluging USB with a 3.8.x used to cause a kernel fault. Also, 3.8.x has some issues with board powering, and / or suspending to RAM. And ethernet support can sometimes still be flaky.
