Best Current Stable IOS version for 6509E?

[greggswitzer]

I would like suggestions from anyone with upgrade experience with the 6509E on what IOS version

to use. This is a new install, so I want the most current version that supports SSH and works with

dual supervisors. Thanks for your suggestions.

Here is some information:

WS-C5609-E with 983008K/65536K bytes of memory

Current version 12.2(18)SXF17b

Slot 5 Supervisor 720 (Active)

Slot 6 Supervisor 720 (Hot)  

Just need a strong base code, no advanced services. Let me know if you any additional information.

  What feature set was ordered with the machine , you have to get the same feature set when downloading .   Look at the safe harbor page .  This is software that has been tested and certified by cisco as stable .   Looks like 12.2.33 SXJ3 is the latest .
