My advice is that you should go with version 4, and I would say that 4.0 beta 2 is "more ready" for production use than the 3.11x versions ever were. In fact, if you look closely in the 3.113 documentation, you will see that 3.113 is actually also a beta version. That's not to say that 4.0 beta 2 doesn't have problems and peculiarities of its own, but most of them have workarounds, and I would say 4.0 beta 2 is the most stable and especially the most powerful GNATS there's ever been.
