The most common Google Play Services version

My app is supporting Android 4.0.3+. Setting Google Play Services too high forces the user to download it. Setting it too low may result in the API not performing up to expectations. The current version that I use is 6.5.87 but I know that it is too high. What is the appropriate version?

You should use the latest version and add a check if the version installed on the device is too low. If yes, provide some info window to force the user to download the latest one. I do that and I was neither confronted with complaints of users nor did any user have problems. It's not your fault that people don't install updates.
