I want to play portable PES. Which PSP version is better? PES 5 or PES 6?

Like the title say, I have a Vita and I want to play some bed PES, Which one do you recommend?
 
PES 2008 on PSP is the one you want.

PES 5 on PSP unfortunately released without Master League. It's Exhibition and Cups and Leagues only.

PES 6 had ML I believe so if you can only get that, get that.

But PES 2008 just plays superbly. Exactly like the PS2 version. They'd nailed the PSP thing by then.

IIRC pre 2008 or 2009 there is also some technical issues, some massive framedrop when a lot players are crowded on screen, like conrer kicks.

That's certainly true of PES 5 on PSP. I recall it well because it seemed inevitable that the greatest ever Golden Age PES would result in a comparable handheld game, and it was so disappointing when it came out minus ML and with the technical issues. PES 5 on PS2 wasn't without some issues – no crowd, and loooong loading times. Black screen for up to a minute if you made a sub, etc.

I played some PES 2008 on PSP a few weeks ago when I came across my PSP in a drawer, and charged it to see if it would work. PES 2008 was the UMD still in the drive. I played a few matches in my ML save and, barring the fiddliness of no R2 button, it stands up.
