You can run 10.5 if you want. 10.5 generally takes more memory, but is generally faster. Much new software requires 10.5 as a minimum, plus you get Time Machine.

In my experience, 10.5 is slower. (At least on 1GB of RAM or less, which for a lot of G4s is the absolute- or practical max.)

Also note that you lose Classic.
