Usually you always pick the latest one. There are cases where specific software works only with a specified patch level and nothing else, but these cases are rare (and, btw., in most cases hinting towards a crappy software development process on the application developers side).
There are also (rare) cases of "bad" maintenance levels. IIRC 5.1 ML 4 was such a case.
But usually - and in absence of specific patch levels explicitly required by the machines owner - install the latest level available.
I hope this helps.

stg-refresh
STG-REFRESH(1) StGit Manual STG-REFRESH(1)
NAME
stg-refresh - Generate a new commit for the current patch
SYNOPSIS
stg refresh [options] [<files or dirs>]
DESCRIPTION
Include the latest work tree and index changes in the current patch. This command generates a new git commit object for the patch; the old
commit is no longer visible.
You may optionally list one or more files or directories relative to the current working directory; if you do, only matching files will be
updated.
Behind the scenes, stg refresh first creates a new temporary patch with your updates, and then merges that patch into the patch you asked
to have refreshed. If you asked to refresh a patch other than the topmost patch, there can be conflicts; in that case, the temporary patch
will be left for you to take care of, for example with stg squash.
The creation of the temporary patch is recorded in a separate entry in the patch stack log; this means that one undo step will undo the
merge between the other patch and the temp patch, and two undo steps will additionally get rid of the temp patch.
OPTIONS
-u, --update
Only update the current patch files.
-i, --index
Instead of setting the patch top to the current contents of the worktree, set it to the current contents of the index.
-p PATCH, --patch PATCH
Refresh (applied) PATCH instead of the top patch.
-e, --edit
Invoke an editor for the patch description.
-a NOTE, --annotate NOTE
Annotate the patch log entry.
-m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
Use MESSAGE instead of invoking the editor.
-f FILE, --file FILE
Use the contents of FILE instead of invoking the editor. (If FILE is "-", write to stdout.)
--sign
Add a "Signed-off-by:" to the end of the patch.
--ack
Add an "Acked-by:" line to the end of the patch.
--author "NAME <EMAIL>"
Set the author details.
--authname NAME
Set the author name.
--authemail EMAIL
Set the author email.
--authdate DATE
Set the author date.
