Mixing rules only apply when no specific parameters for an

What do you mean by "new runs"? And why not use it? Parameters are
too outdated or something? They don't work?
Don't use it when you start a new project, unless you have a very
particular reason do to so (compatibility with an old project or
something).
The later GROMOS96 versions are simply better since it's basically
the same parameters that have gone through several additional rounds
of improvements - with faster computers it has also been possible to
calibrate non-trivial properties such as free energy for more complex
systems.
Then there's of course also all-atom force fields like OPLS-AA/L or
Amber, but that's a different decision that involves taste too.
