C9410R Firmware

[smith2487]

We are about to deploy a Catalyst C9410R that is currently at 16.9.4.

We want it to have the latest firmware version before we put it in service.

When I go to the Support page I see:

Gibraltar-16.12.6 Download Options

Fuji-16.9.8 Download Options

Bengaluru-17.6.1

Which one should I use?

Stick with 16.9.X. 
Definitely do not use 16.12.X unless someone wants to "help Cisco find bugs".

IOS recommendation for 9000 series switches are as below based on the TAC feedback.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/catalyst-9300-series-switches/214814-recommended-releases-for-catalyst-9200-9.html

16.9 is already pass the End of SW Maintenance & End of Vulnerability/Security Support. for 16.12 it will be early next year. So better to go with 17.3.4 as this is the latest TAC recommended release.
