not sure what the latest are but i've had genuine revision R coil packs in for over two years with no problems.

might be worth contacting your local VW as coil packs are on recall

Can you post a pic ?

If you're not getting issues, I wouldn't upgrade until you do (unless you call VW and you qualify for the recall)

If you were getting issues with the coil packs you would know it, your car would sound like a Subaru lol

If you want to check if any of them are faulty, start the car and one at a time undo the electrical connection to each pack (1 at a time) the engine should go quieter (you'll know what I mean when you take one off) if it doesn't on one/some of them they are goosed
