Seagate ships new firmware!

Greetings honourable experts!

I am about to build a 4-drive IDE raidarray, with Seagate's Barracuda 7200.7 Plus, 120GB drive. You can read about Barracuda in the following url:
http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/marketing/detail/0,1081,580,00.html

Harddisk model number: ST3120026A

Now, I have a lot of these disks, and I have noticed that my disks are either with firmware version:

3.06

or

8.54

Are the new firmware better? Or shall I stick to the old version? Please explain:)

How about mixing the firmware in a raidarray, is that a bad idea?

Best regards!
