If you don't need features of the netCDF-4 data model, I would recommend to
stay in the "classic" model (e.g., netCDF-3).
There is still software which does not support all the features of netCDF-4
(including the R interface package where I'm the author).
It depends therefore on the structure your datasets will have. If you can write
them using the netCDF-3 data model, there's in my opinion no need for netCDF-4.
Anyway, the netCDF-4 library can read/write also the "classic" format.
+1 for netCDF-3
