potato is stable
woody is testing
sid is unstable
Since woody is due to be released any day now, woody is almost as stable as
potato. Therefore you're almost certainly better running woody than potato.
Once woody is released next week, there will be a new testing distribution
(sarge IIRC?). If you prefer stability, leave your sources.list on woody.
If you prefer relativly recent software then leave your sources.list on
testing. It won't make any difference for the next couple weeks but they
will slowly diverge (e.g. KDE3 and XFree86 4.2 will go into testing but not
into woody).
