PHP 5.2 is still supported, no reason to upgrade for security reasons.

The changes between 5.2 - 5.3 - 5.4 are quite noticeable,
see http://de.php.net/manual/en/appendices.php .

You would upgrade if you need the new features, or you need to upgrade your server
and use the bundled PHP version.

The newest is generally best.

Performance wise, the newest version 5.4 is said to be "the fastest PHP ever" (german
review on heise.de).
