I can't speak for most people, but I personally enjoy testing. It's not
quite as stable as, well, stable, but I rarely encounter any significant
errors. The benefit is that you get much newer versions of many of the
packages.

I've had great luck with Ensoniq PCI (ES1371 chipset) cards. They're very
basic, but sound good and are well-supported by pretty much every OS in
existence.

I have a Diamond Multimedia (was "Supra" when I bought it - before DiamondMM
bought Supra) SupraExpress 56e external. It's truly an outstanding
performer. Along those lines, pretty much all external modems will work
without any special effort.
