Advice on server version

Hello! I'm making a Minecraft server network, and I'm wondering what server version to choose for each server. I'm planning on having a main lobby, some minigames and maybe an SMP as well. For servers like an SMP I would probably choose the latest version since it doesn't make sense to support older versions. But for the lobby, what version would be the best choice there (maybe latest with ViaVersion?)? And for minigames with 1.8 combat, would it be the best to run a 1.8 server, or a later version with a plugin that reverts the combat changes?

For a simpler version of the question, what versions did for example Hypixel choose for their servers (lobby, minigames)?

I would also like to use a plugin that implements the Slime world format, for example SWM (1.8-1.14) or ASWM (custom server for 1.20.6) for the lobby and minigames servers.
