12.2(2)T1 is older than 12.2(8)T5 and has less IPv6 features and less 
bug fixes.

If "someone" had meant to say "12.2(2)T" (ie, not T1) then they were 
telling you the *minimum* IOS version for IPv6 functionality, not the best.

Whereas 12.2(8)T5 is one of the latest IOS versions.

At http://www.cisco.com/ipv6 we say:

    "We highly recommended selecting the latest available
     Cisco IOS T release".

So generally it'd be good to choose a 12.2(8)T release over a 12.2(2)T 
release.

Cheers.
