It just depends on what you are going after.  If you like upgrading, go for 5.5.
If on the other hand, you would like to get to a supported platform and don't
want to have to upgrade for a while, 5.0 is the answer.  The intermediate
releases are not supported for as long as the major releases. (unless this has
changed)
 
Also, as Steve has stated, if you are after some newer features, 5.5 has the
most current set of cool features.
 
At our site, we are more interested in limited downtime, long term stability,
and we don't jump on the new band wagon the first time around the block.  We are
just now talking about actually doing web servers and ODBC on our 'newly
upgraded to 5.0' machine.
