If you want to use the 4.3 series, then 4.3.0, 4.3.1, 4.3.2 are definitely extremely buggy (so much so I find them almost unusable). Another really buggy release was 4.1.2.
I am also aware of bugs in the 4.4 series. Of course these are my own opinions and may not reflect any objective reality. Bill.
