  I'm actually using 4.23 and didn't notice any bug so far. Of course for any previous daz studio version you must have the installer as only the last version is available in the shop. The default resources in 4.23 include the toon shaders for filament, which are not available in previous versions. 4.24 adds the spot render and extra filters for asset management, that I don't want, plus it removes 3delight, that I want. So the choice is easy for me.

  As Padone pointed out, you will not be able to get DS 4.23 from Daz now, as they only offer the latest version, DS 4.24.0.4. It is not legal to get DS 4.23 from any other source. So, unless you previously downloaded and saved the installer for DS 4.23 from Daz, you will not be able to install that older version now. DS 4.24.0.4 works fine for me. I don't need 3Delight.

  Like barbult, DS 4.24.0.4 works fine for me as well. I never use 3Delgight.  And as far as I can tell, comparing to DS 4.22, there's no new bugs in DS 4.24, I personally feel that DS 4.24 is a bit faster than DS 4.22. I have both of them installed.

  Besides, you can keep both DS 4.22 and DS 4.24 by just installing the Public Build of DS 4.24 which is the very same to DS 4.24 General Release. Alternatively, you also can install DS 4.24 General Release but you have to rename the application folder of DS 4.22 beforehand ~~

  I followed the steps to add 3Delight to 4.24.0.4

  of course you need D|S 4.23 to copy the files from

  i've been using 4.22 for a very long time and i really want to upgrade to a newer version,but from what i've seen in the forums the new versions have a lot of bugs and viewport issues,what is the best version to upgrade to performance wise?

  For me DS6 is markedly better on every front.  Not just performance; there are new bugs in DS6 but long-standing issues I had with DS4 seem to be fixed.  Some of the perf improvements made it into 4.24 but not enough; the shutdown time alone is a killer (that was said to be a Qt4 issue.)

  Suck it and see; you can install DS6 and try it (though it helps to be open-minded).  Unlike a DS4 upgrade you can have DS4 and DS6 together on the same machine and just do a direct one-on-one comparision.  In fact if you are using "release" try installing the "public build" (i.e. development version, alpha/beta) as well.  That allows you to try 4.24 "public" for yourself and see how it works or doesn't work.

  There are also facilities added to DIM (independent of DS4/6) to back up the old version of "upgraded" products.  I don't use that so I can't really comment; I don't know if it backs up the installers.  I have my own backup system so I don't use the DIM one.
