They are all supposed to be stable. That's the point of the "stable tree"
of kernel development. If the number after the first decimal point in the
version number is even, then it is a stable kernel. If it's odd, then
it's a development kernel, considered unstable. You might as well run the
latest version. No kernel will ever be completely bug-free (it's
software, after all...) but presumably there has been more time to fix the
bugs since it's a more recent release.
