I seem to recall some discussion about why 8 is in the base system and not 9 on this list some time ago. As far as I remember, the default is still version 8 because it would take a great deal of work to switch to version 9 - time which is better spent by those who can on other work. Version 9 is quite stable. It includes various neat features that aren't available in 8, as well. Go with it. It works very well for me.
