I personally have had very good experiences with both the old Lauri Pesonen ports, and the more recent ones. I've tended to stay with the older ones, mainly for the nicer, stabler GUI that doesn't require GTK+. On any modern system, I've found the non-JIT version to run much faster than anything I'd ever need out of it, so I've tended to stick with it. I've have very little trouble in the way of reliability otherwise. I've had it running for days doing various things, including playing some CD-ROM based multimedia games (Return to Zork, for example) and burning CDs without a problem. Ran a server on it for awhile for fun to try out MacHTTP and some addons, which worked nicely for awhile. With some of the SCSI flakery I've suffered from on my real Macs over the years, I'd almost have to say I've less trouble with it than my real ones.
