How to start a new ember project

I've been asked to use ember again, at it's been a while since i left it;

I was reading that, like in the past, ember-cli is the recommended way to start a new ember project; But my concern is: the official stable version of ember-cli uses an outdated ember version; on the other hand the ember-cli with the latest ember (2.22) is a beta;

can someone share his experience in order to understand the preferred way to deal with ember projects right now?
