What firmware would you personally downgrade to 5.3.5 or 5.3.4 or 5.3.1?

Original:
Should I add a rescue pack before the attempt to jailbreak?

All I have in settings is
airplane mode
wifi networks
registration
device options
reading option

Maybe I should connect and register it. It seems like a lot of the settings on this video from THEEBOOKREADER are missing if they are stock. excluding the fonts of course.

Update: Hit Menu button then, choose settings, then the menu button again to get to device info. This was not available before registering. Now the mac address etc shows up with the firmware as well. It's 5.3.3

Got it:
By default, the following "components" are installed:

The actual device jailbreak, i.e., the certificate which allows to install custom update packages.
The Jailbreak Bridge.
The Kindlet developer certificates. (standalone installer package here - re-installation required after firmware update!)
The Rescue Pack. (re-installation required after firmware update - INSTALL IT! One day, it might save your Kindle...).
