Greg, I don't ever recall seeing bleeding-edge firmware with bugs released from Ubiquiti.... unless you mean the betas? But that's what they are... betas. Since 5.3.3 up to the current 5.5.2 release I haven't had any problems with the final releases of software.
I can't count the number of Linksys, DLink, Hawking, whatever wireless routers we've replaced for customers because they had problems with their Internet. We put in a Power AP-N, or an AirRouter and we never hear from them again. Truth be told... Ubiquiti equipment just runs... it doesn't need rebooted. It doesn't need babysat. It just runs. No I am not being paid to make these statements. I just have many years working in IT. I've used Cisco, MikroTik, Alvarion, Motorola and now Ubiquiti. The Ubiquiti equipment just works. I have a backhaul that's been up for over a year with no reboots.... and no problems.
