Either.  Whichever one works best for you, and if you can't distinguish
them on performance or bug-fixes, choose 9.1.

However, don't fall into the trap of thinking 'because I'm running OS
version 9.0 I have to use the binary packages for 9.0.'  You don't.  And
in fact, if it's more than a month or so since the OS was released, you
should be checking for updates.

Unfortunately, since the security problem, there haven't been updates to
package sets for *any* OS versions available.  So your best recourse is
to pull down a copy of the ports tree and build what packages you need
for yourself.  This is time consuming, but not particularly difficult.
