It would be great to move to 2.6 in as many areas as possible. It's the
new stable kernel, and 2.4 is in a deep freeze, so we would make the
best use of maintenance effort that way. I think the only exceptions are
architecture ports not supported and/or working in 2.6 but that need 2.4
or earlier to function. But this can only be a recommendation since I
only have the i386 and alpha packages.
