First of all look at the information on the download page [1]:
- 4.5 will have updates till March 2015 (just over three months left!)
- 6.2 will have updates till March 2017 (more than two years)
- 7.x is stable enough to be used, but the final LTS version will be 
released in autumn 2015; each step towards this release is stable but 
with each sub-release new features will be added.

Next you can look at the new features for 6.2 (and possibly 7.0) on [2].
Use the tab for the version and read the information in the PDF. In 6.2 
there are features for responsive images, compared to 4.5 there are 
loads of improvements (from versions 4.6, 4.7, 6.0 and 6.1 also) which 
include a File Abstraction Layer for file handling, accessibility 
improvements for generated HTML and countless other areas.

For the limited support period of 4.5 alone I would advice to use at 
least 6.2.
