You would miss security patches, bug fixes, etc. within the next few
months (or maybe sooner?).

Well, FC 6 definitely build in xord 7.1 (and therefor compiz/aiglx
support) so it's very easy to get Compiz up and running. Anything is
do-able in FC5 but you'd have to a) do it yourself or b) get it from a
3rd party.
I've certainly not run into any networking issues in FC 6 and it may
just be a vmware issue (or that particular image). I have run FC 5 and 6
and the major difference is that you're running a half years worth of
improvements (to everything) when running 6. I would personally
recommend the latest but again, I'm not aware of your hardware and why
(or if) FC 6 has issues with it.
Either distro is good, but there are definitely features that make FC 6
desirable. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
