Which is right for me?

The development version will have the latest features, but may also contain new bugs. Grab this version if you want to live on the bleeding edge, or you plan on hacking on Qtile. You'll probably want to keep an eye on Qtile on GitHub and subscribe to qtile-dev.

If you want to set it and forget it, then the latest official release is for you. You'll wait longer between updates, but this version is likely to be more stable and have fewer bugs.
