It depends entirely on what these new systems are to be used for.  KDE4 is 
developing nicely, but is not yet at the level required for many production 
purposes, and F9 doesn't give you KDE3.

If you are producing systems for developers, then go to F9, but if you want 
general production systems, install F8.  Bear in mind, though, that F8 has a 
limited lifespan left.  You will need to go to F10 before long.

Of course if utter stability is your need, go to one of the Enterprise 
versions, such as CentOS.
