Generally you should use releases officially tagged as stable by the
maintainer, especially if you don't know much about the development
work going on for that module and the skills and habits of the
maintainer.

But in reality there are many cases of unstable modules officially
tagged as stable, and modules where a dev release is the most stable
one. A good site developer would have done the research and should
know better, so judge by the results.
