I can only tell about my experience: after several attempts at keeping a stable
version, I concluded that it is not reasonable to do so, as we always need the latest
and greatest features of QGIS (and GDAL, GRASS, etc.).
I used testing for 10 yrs now, but on several machines I switched to unstable.
IMHO unstable is a misleading term, as it is just as good for the everyday use.
You get the occasional bug creeping in, but also the latest fixes are quickly
incorporated.
All the best.
