PDF 1.5 adds layers capability. Transparencies began with 1.4, and in 
more advanced versions, so if you need transparency, 1.3 is out.

I think all can handle gradients if encoded properly. As we know, 
Scribus can sometimes have trouble with certain SVG gradients.

The minus for more advanced versions like 1.5 has to do with whether 
viewers or your commercial printer can handle the job. Apparently, even 
Adobe Reader 8 can't even handle all of the features of 1.5.
