The current stable release is always what's on the march-hare cvsnt page.

It has some bugs fixed, but also has other changes which are less well 
tested.  I believe 2013 to be stable but it's not gone through the extra 
testing that a stable release gets.

Essentially, whatever works for you :)  If you're waiting for a bug to 
be fixed it's more likely to be in the latest testing release, however 
if everything works and you don't need any new feature sticking with 
stable means you don't have to worry too much about upgrades for a while.
