A good tip build tends to be more stable then 1.0.3 and has hugely improved performance (most importantly for large application in garbage collection and generation). To select a suitable tip build we use http://build.golang.org/ http://build.golang.org/ and https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/golang-dev https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/golang-de... . My recommendation would be to find a one or two week old build that passed all checks, do a quick skim of the mailing list to make sure there weren't any other issues and use that revision. Also, you will see some the the builders are broken- Of course if your application has automated unit tests and load tests, run those too before a full deployment.
