Doesn't matter much. 5.04beta isn't really a beta any more, it's a stable version but they never removed the beta designation. The only differences between the two versions are that 5.04 allows you to reduce the amount of RAM allocated to FAH in the settings and also allows you specify -advmethods in the settings so you don't have to add the flag.

The devs didn't think that 5.04 was different enough to necessitate a new "stable" release so they just up and called it "beta" forever. It works the same with a few different configuration options.

what they said ^ 
I run some 5.04beta and some 5.02 that I've been too lazy to bother changing
to make it more complicated some of my 5.02 are just the 5.04beta renamed to 5.02 so I don't have to change any shortcuts or the service start
confused yet? I am!!

all the work is done by the cores which are exactly the same anywayVeNT said:
there are no performance gains to be made from having 5.04 beta
the 5.04 beta was only produced as one of the power-borgers had an issue with extra large beta WUs appearing on most of his dual CPU machines and as each WU was taking over half the available RAM the systems became extremely unresponsive
