I'm hosting the resurrected GoLUG mailing list

We kept version 2 just to continue the lineage and remove any
additional learning curve for importing ancient archives.

I think an excellent comparison between the two would be their
migration documentation:

In general I feel it's a good idea to run the latest software when
other options are deprecated, it's popular enough, and when it's on
your server; you never know when a bug will hit unsupported software
and users will notice it slower or not at all, or are less motivated to
fix it.
