I tested both.
1.0-alpha integrates better but is more unstable and there are lots of errors. I would no use it on a live site.
0.9.0.4 is much stable, and runs fine. I used this plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/freshly-baked-cookies/ and then forced always to login/logout from WordPress. That works perfect. Login/out from bbPress does not run correctly in this situation, so I preferred to force to login/logout from wordpress.
In my case I was talking for a project 6-9 months vista, to be finished later this year. This makes things a bit different as I hope then bbPress 1.0 will be more mature.
Also consider that you always can upgrade from 0.9 to 1.0… but you can NOT to downgrade from 1.0 to 0.9. So, perhaps I would start from the stable version.

Thanks all for your responses and comments. After evaluating it, I agree with chrisjager and I think the 1.0 alpha is the best option. Mostly because probably I will use only a part of bbpress in this project, and not the entire program. Of course it will be a GPL licensed project.
I was searching on the forums but found not response. When integrating 0.9.0.4 with WordPress 2.7, the SECRET_KEY to which WordPress 2.7 key corresponds? I think I need that before using the integration plugin.
By the way, I tried the WordPress integration plugin for 0.9, and it does not work for me. After installing it on three different sites, nobody can login into WordPress. (I will ask this in WordPress Forums).
I don’t think so. PHP4 is deprecated and there is no support for it. It’s more than one year php4 is discontinued (since 2007-12-31).
So in my opinion there is no reason to make new developments compatible with it. The most reasonable way, is to take all the possibilities of the current version of PHP5.
