I use stable on my thinkpad.
gnome testing
Ubuntu
Arch linux
Funtoo
unstable
I've been using it on my personal desktop and laptop for over 5 years.
Stable (with backports) on servers and my office desktop.
definitely stable
Testing
been using debian stable and i've been very happy with it over past few years. only time i've been sad is when i had to install/reinstall the shitty nvidia drivers
Reminder for stable users:
antiX is a better debian than debian is
>backports.debian.org
this need an updated mpv version since the one in the main repo uses quvi over youtube-dl. its retarded.
testing
> using a server OS on your workstation
just use arch, it's not that hard
the only annoying difference between arch and a minimal debian install is that you'd have to install the bootloader yourself
Testing if you don't mind systemshit telling you you're OUT OF MEMORY!!!! (And then it just hangs on start jobs)
unstable > testing > stable
Stable is too old, so try testing, unstable breaks.
Stable + Backports

Honestly, stable. Unstable is essentially rolling release and rolling release fucking sucks.
They must *really* hate systemd.
Stretch/testing
fedora
stable if you have a life and don't mind older programs
unstable if you are able to update && upgrade every couple days and can read the notes/prompts
don't use testing for a desktop. shit will break and may stay like that for weeks. unstable actually gets fixed faster.
