if you want to stay with 1.6 and chose not to upgrade to 1.8, then 1.6.16 is the version you need to use as it is the latest version and has fixes for many security vulnerabilities..

If you want to start from fresh you need to use the latest stable version of MyBB. Either 1.6.16 or 1.8.3.

you can upgrade your forum to MyBB 1.6.16 like this
1 turn forum off line. deactivate all the plugins one by one
2 download ~/inc/config.php file & ~/inc/settings.php file
3 take backup of the database
4 upload MyBB 1.6.16 files.
5 upload back your earlier config.php file & settings.php file
6 upgrade your forum by visiting forumurl/install/upgrade.php

Thanks but what will happened to attachment in 'uploads' folder.
will step 4 not complete upgrade???
as in installation guide there is no need to upgrade. so step 6 is required? if yes than which file to choose for upgrade.

4. upload MyBB 1.6.16 files by overwriting earlier version files
so earlier attachments are kept. they do not get deleted.
upgrading forum by visiting upgrade script & following its instructions is necessary
