Wait for Magento 1.9.1

Historically Magento 1.x.0 version has always been vulnerable. And to plug-in the issues, magneto has always released 1.x.1 release in next 60 days. Historically 1.x.1 version has been one there most stable releases. Going by track record, I suggest users to avoid using magento 1.9 for production as upgrade or as a fresh installation. And its more interesting to observe that magento has release Magento CE 1.9.0.1 Version within 2 days of release of 1.9 version. 
After major release wait for bugs to be fixed.
