Always go with the latest android version as your target SDK to get more benefits.

Targeting a recent API level also allows your app to take advantage of the platform's latest features to delight your users. Furthermore, as of Android 10 (API level 29), users see a warning when starting an app for the first time if the app targets Android 5.1 (API level 22) or lower.
