Probably better to get latest firmware image since that one supports more 
exotic hardware.  If an ethernet connection is to be used for the machine 
then the firmware image likely will not be necessary.
I don't know, if a stretch install gets done on a machine with an ethernet 
connection is it like a wifi connection also necessary to write up an 
/etc/network/interfaces file before post-install internet gets available?
