Carlo, We use only Debian development branch both for the development of our software and for our deployments. If you use Debian unstable you are the safest as we are testing and using our packages only this environment.
While the name 'stable' brings some confidence for the inexperienced, in practice when it comes to bleeding edge developments like we do, the stable version can become obsolete fast and you could be stuck by running it because of the dependencies that do not make it to the stable branch as soon as we develop our software. When things do not work you will hear the same story "your distribution is too old" to run this software. So the most stable distribution is unstable.
