I suggest RELENG_4_8 of course.

If we are talking about security, take a look at CerbNG project:

	http://cerber.sourceforge.net

But there is no stable release yet.
You can find on this page also two different kernel modules:
rexec and lrexec. Those two are stable, but not so functional and
doesn't provide so high security level as CerbNG.
