If you're concerned about stability, you may be best off sticking with
the official releases. If you want to try it out, the latest named
beta release is probably the next best. You should only use the
snapshot releases if you're confident you can fix any problems you may
encounter. (Probably the same applies to the beta releases as well.)

Sure. There are things like debootstrap which don't use the installer.
