I'm not familiar with Xen to such detail, particularly with its
history,
but allow me to (hopefully) help you with the decision by saying that
we
dropped support for any QEmu older than 0.12.0 (released on December
2009). And by that I don't mean that we stopped fixing bugs for
those,
but that libvirt now *mandates* version 0.12.0 or newer. That is
what
is available in CentOS 6 and similar (or as Dan stated it "RHEL-6 era
distros). For others like me, who don't know when the Xen releases
were
made, I found out (for you) that it should be March 2011 for 4.1 and
September that year for 4.2. So I'm not even going to ask in which
version xl/libxl was introduced.
FYI, xl was introduced in Xen 4.1:

Xen 4.1 was indeed released on 25th March 2011:

Xen 4.2 was released on 17 Sept _2012_:
