I wanted to suggest Flex 4 also, but it's still alpha! I had to use it for a project because I needed support for the Arabic language, but I often faced problems with bugs in the framework and renamings made to the classes/functions. In the same time I found the new skinning concept and DOM structure very helpful and I have sometimes some difficulty to go back to Flex 3 :)
Anyway, if you are ready to put some time in finding bugs and to cope with changes that can break compilation of your project after a svn update (I would estimate it to be 10%-15% of your time), then I would definitely advise to use Flex 4. But be careful: you can become Gumboholic!
