Install apc in production environment

Executing a pecl search apc returns the following:

Package Stable/(Latest) Local
APC     3.1.14 (beta)         Alternative PHP Cache

And according to here: http://pecl.php.net/package/APC 3.1.14 is still beta. So, should I go ahead and install that version, or stick to the latest stable version?

Edit:

Actually is going to go live, the server, in a day or less

If you use 3.1.14 in your development environment and everything is working as expected, I would use the same versions in your production environment. This result in the best possibility to prevent unforeseen errors.

If you are planning on using a stable (or any other different) version in your production environment: first test it in your development environment!
