I'm using both Stable, Testing and Sid, and actually, the softwares I 
sometimes needed weren't in Sid. It is generally a matter of hardware 
drivers, for example sound card needing a really recent developpment 
version of the driver.
There are many times when I had to build jackd package too, but it's 
less the case for 1 year or so. But I really used "bleeding-edge" 
things, with a certain taste for no-safety -rope-test! ;)

Yes, that's the question you're asked once the installer is launched, 
but in the options, before selecting "install" or "graphic install", you 
might select what WM you want to use. IIRC, too.
