I've always found it best to be one revision behind whatever is current-then you miss out on most of the bugs and other initial release problems.

While I agree with Cory about always staying one revision behind major software releases, you don't have to buy a license of SolidWorks to get one for personal use provided that you are employed by a company which uses SolidWorks.
The commercial license of SolidWorks stipulates that for every license you buy, you get to install it on two computers used by the same end user. E.g. you get one copy for the workstation computer and a second copy to install on a personal computer to use at home.
Now while this may not apply to many of the high school students, engineering mentors can take advantage of this offer.
