Best iOS for 3gs

Looking at purchase for a gift an unlocked 3gs with iOS 6, does this run well with 6 or would finding a used one with 4 or 5 run faster?

My old 3GS ran very well on 6.1.3, much better than on older versions.

We have two 3GS models on iOS 6.1.2 that run pretty well. I seem to remember that upgrading to iOS 6 from iOS5 was an improvement in many ways.

Both are jailbroken, but with just a few minor tweaks installed. Looks like the lastest JB will allow ANY version of iOS 6 to be jailbroken.
