1. As you don't seem to know, Apple releases a new OS every two to three years, Lion came out last year, thus the next OS is probably not due before 2013/2014.

2. For your purposes either are fine (10.6 and 10.7), just look at the dozens of threads (3.) about the differences and the setbacks some users experienced.
For me the biggest setback of Lion is the iOSification and the removal of Exposé and Spaces, thus I stay with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, as it fulfils my computational needs.
