Seeking advice about "which avisynth to use?".

I currently use template avs's (one of which is below) which I edit for use with the TSP's venerable 32 bit avisynth 2.5.7 MT at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=94996
I also have a list of plugins which are compatible with that version (outlined in the avs).
This combo has seen me right for a long time, even now with Win8.1x64.

I gather there are newer versions of avisynth, however I'm not sure if all of my required plugins (or updated versions) are compatible with those avisynths.
eg
vapoursynth http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=82 http://www.vapoursynth.com/
avisynth+ http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168856 http://avs-plus.net/
avisynth 2.6.0 http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172054
avisynth 2.6 MT http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148782&highlight=avisynth

Advice welcomed about which one to use, and whether speed improvements are to be had from a newer version.

Seeking advice about "which avisynth to use?".

I currently use template avs's (one of which is below) which I edit for use with the TSP's venerable 32 bit avisynth 2.5.7 MT at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=94996

At a bare minimum, install 2.5.8, which fixes many bugs. 2.6 is almost 100% compatible and fixes even more bugs, adds spiffy new features, and enables compatibility with lots of new filters. The MT version is strongly recommended unless you care more about slightly better stability rather than 2-4x speedups. (There are a few very rare cases where MT fails when regular doesn't, often memory use related.)

Avisynth+ is a good idea, and it makes writing plugins and complex scripts easier, it's certainly faster, and it has different bugs. It's natively multithreaded, and there are special plugins for it, many of which are faster than their standard Avisynth counterparts. (Most are cross-compatible enough that they've entirely replaced the standard versions.) If you want to test it out, be sure to use this version (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1719768#post1719768), because the latest release is way behind standard Avisynth at this point. It's hard to give an unequivocal yes/no, because it's hard to see where it's going, but I guess the same could be said of Avisynth itself.

If everything you need is available in 64-bit, always go with 64-bit, unless it's slower. (A few plugins are optimized for 32-bit and not 64-bit.) You'll never run out of memory.

Vapoursynth is entirely separate. Aside from marrying the general idea with Python syntax, and a reimplementation of the most useful plugins, it's 100% different from Avisynth. All of the limitations of -- and compatibility with -- Avisynth are gone, and you have to learn a new, stricter language just to use it. In almost every respect it's faster and easier to use, once you're over the language curve, in my experience. No audio support at all. While it can load older 2.5-compatible Avisynth plugins, going with VS is more abandoning the Avisynth ecosystem than choosing a dialect of it, and you'll have to rewrite everything you've done.
