There are different options:
- for new servers I would suggest to use RHEL5 distro/RHEL5-OVZ kernel
- for old servers you can still continue to use RHEL4-OVZ kernel,
as it will keep being updated for a long time yet.
- if you want some new features from RHEL5-OVZ kernel, but don't
want to upgrade host OS itself, it should not be a big problem
to install RHEL5-OVZ kernel only and update OVZ related tools.
(you may need to create a correct initrd, but no major obstacles here)

You don't need to install RH5 until you want some new specific features.
