I'm running squeeze on a system, and I'd like to keep the system on the stable release independent of what the release is called.

I'd stick with Squeeze in sources.list. That way you can upgrade to the next Stable release at your convenience.
If you use "stable" instead of "squeeze," your system will be less stable because the upgrade procedure is more complicated than changing sources.list and doing a dist-upgrade, and you could risk breakage when Stable switches from Squeeze to Wheezy.
