Some advice on moving PHP

[the one]

At the moment my vbulletin version is 4.2.1 and we are using PHP version is 5.3.29

I have just logged into my WHM and checked the latest versions of PHP.Can someone have a look at the attched image and let me know would my forum work ok on any of them PHP 6 and if so do i just click on the correct one and build.

Also if Vbulletin 4.2.1 is not compatible with PHP 5.6 what version of Vbulletin do i need to upgrade to and also would i upgrade vbulletin first then PHP or PHP first then Vbulletin.

Many thanks

You'll have to take care of upgrading your PHP...if not sure how to do so, contact your host.
