The standard online compiler generally uses the most recently released SourceMod compiler. At this point, that's SourceMod 1.5.1.
Edit: And just to make a liar out of me, it's using SourcePawn Compiler 1.5.0-dev+3889. Maybe that should be updated, since SourceMod 1.5 changed after that?

SPIDER uses one of the SourceMod 1.6 compilers.

Generally, newer is better, but that's not always true... I personally try to use whatever the latest stable version is unless I'm targetting new functionality, such as CS:GO support back before 1.5 hadn't been released yet.
