Well top notch would be always pulling the upstream repos. I don't
remember to have done this even a single time in buildroot.
There is a subtile difference between these three:
- top notch
- current, stable release, usually containing the best-fit bugfixes
- outdated packages with known bugs (sometimes all over the place).

I'm sure there is endless discussion archived out there about the pros
and cons of each of them, so i'll spare my keyboard interrupts and your
time.
