Do you change between versions depending on the task/model?
Yes. But I almost always use the current latest version.
The "fix horrible" checkboxes are not always enough to fix a non-manifold STL and sometimes I can fix it in CAD but sometimes it is easier to slice with 13.04. That's the only reason I ever go back to 13.04 at this point.
Also I believe the Joris still prefers 13.04 for his cups because Cura 13.06 and newer I believe sometimes add little shelf like support on the layer below if the layer above will be printing "over thin air". But the joris/spiralize option on cura keeps getting better so I'm not sure about what Joris himself does at this point.

More information is always better. But what I usually need is examples. For example, if you report "13.04 retracts better then 13.06!" then I have nothing to go on.
If you on the other hand show pictures of prints with 13.06 and 13.11 with the same settings, and 13.11 strings more. And give the exact model you used. Then I can look into that.
