Personally, a RC is not for production, since well, it's an RC :D

Having a look at the timings, since 4.13.0 is released in April 16 and the 
Final Relase of KUbuntu 14.04 is not until April 17 you could have 4.13.0 as a 
0-day update, obviously this doesn't solve the problem of the CD not including 
it, but who does not install updates after installing something?

So I'd go with 4.13.

Cheers,

P.S: This is obviously *my* opinion, not "KDE's"
