Which PHP version should I use for XenForo?

well I am still on XF 1.4 so need to find the spare time to update to XF 1.5 also before even looking at PHP 7 and I have 100 XF addons and plans to roll out a new XF style with XF 1.5 update
PHP 7.x If you encounter an incompatible addon for PHP7, then it's time for the addon author to release an update.
Thank you for clarify that for me - will look at them all and see if I can use any of them but also test out XF on 7.0.x
So would you say that it's generally advisable to wait a month or so before updating to the latest version of PHP? For example, I'm runing Xenforo and currently using PHP 8.1.22. I see there is: Code: Current PHP Version: 8.1.22 Latest PHP Version Installable: 8.3.0, 8.2.13, 8.1.26, 8.0.30 I see that 8.2 was released a year ago https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php, but 8.2.13 and 8.3.0 were both released about a week ago https://www.php.net/downloads.php. Is 8.2.13 safe, or would 8.1.26 be the recommendation, and if so, for how long?
Xenforo recommend 8.1 see here I have been running one site (not many plugins) on 8.2 and not had any problems, my other sites are on 8.1.xx (latest version) again with no problems
