With FirePOWER Management Center (current name for the product formerly known as Defense Center), the recommended version is the most recent one - currently 6.2.0.

There is an upgrade path description in the release notes here:

Minimum resource requirements are 8 GB ior RAM and 4 vCPUs but it's generally recommended to at least double the RAM and increase the vCPUs to 8 if possible. The disk is fixed at 250 GB.

Here's the guide with the resource specification:
