However i am not sure if i need to use a specific patch, or should I just use the newest one from here?

You can use kobopatch to disable 'slide to unlock' but you don't have to.

You can achieve the same result by manually editing your .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf config file (with a good text editor) by adding the following line to the [PowerOptions] section already in there.
Code:
UnlockEnabled=false
The mod should survive future firmware updates without needing to reapply it.

ETA: You may need to reboot after editing so that the updated config is read.
