If you have no other information, I'd use the affiliation appropriate at 
the time of publication of the resource.  That's why we have subfields $s 
and $t to provide dates when known.  If the affilation name changes but 
the entity being described is still affiliated with it after the name 
change, then two 373s (or two $a's in a single 373) are appropriate. 
Don't automatically use the latest name.
