Either one should work. However, 2.5.31 is not an official stable
version so you can expect more gotchas with it.

2.5.31 came after 2.5.4, just as 2.5.10 came after 2.5.9.

W. L. Estes of UNC Greensboro is doing that version. I can't check
its current status, as sourceforge.net is down right now.
As far as I know Vern Paxson, the previous maintainer of 'flex',
hasn't had time to work on it since 2.5.4 came out in 1996. If you
want just bug fixes for 2.5.4 I suggest using the Debian GNU/Linux
patches, which you can get from
<http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/flex>.
