      Did a little research regarding the use of snort rules packages in suricata. I found that any snort rules package should work with the exception that incompatible rules will just generate an error. Not sure what the best practice is though? Should i just use the rules for the most up to date version of snort? Or maybe its better to use an older version with better compatibility?

        I would use the current Snort rules package.  I think that is 2.9.11 (or something close).
