audigy 2 zs beta driver or not?

I was wandering if its better to use the Audigy 2 zs beta driver on creative's site, or use the newer driver and then seperately install OpenAL?

The beta driver has been superceded. I don't know why it has not been removed.

So, use "SBAX_WEBUP_LB_2_08_0004.exe" WHQL which contains Ct_oal.dll 5.12.1.1164 and OpenALwEAX 1.7.0 (OpenAL.dll 6.14.357.9 & wrap_oal.dll 1.1.4.0).

OpenALwEAX 1.9.1 (OpenAL.dll & wrap_oal.dll 2.0.8.0) updates are available from:
