I would suggest getting the latest. Linux HA seems to have a steady growth of bug fixes and features. Sure version 2.0.1 might work find for me, but I may not be using all the features, if you are having a problem someone is likely to tell you to upgrade anyway.
I would defer to the packages from your operating system vendor. They are going to be most compatable. I did 'yum install heartbeat'. This will get you in action quickly. If you find something missing from the vendor package you can always go your own way build from src etc. The bundled package I think is the way of least resistance.
