"V24" was just shorthand for the old "V2.4" of DD-WRT, which arbitrarily changed to "V3.0" last year or something; you'd see this when logging in to a console. The filenames which indicate DD version still use the v24 though. :-/
Anyway, it is irrelevant; the important part is the build revision which represents the SVN commit. It is much more important to track New Build threads for your model/version (or those w/ the same SoC and WL#) to indicate stability.
Also, don't confuse those DD versions with k2.4 and k3x references which refer to the Linux kernel version in the DD firmware.
