I go for the most stable that has the features or fixes I need. Sometimes that means patching an old kernel with a proposed, untested patch. LVM is big for us and it just underwent a major rewrite (at least the parts that most matter to us were rewritten.) It'll be great for us, but I'll give it a few months in Fedora before we switch production machines over. As soon as I'm satisfied it's safe though, we'll use it because we know exactly what benefit we're getting from it.

So I guess I tend toward "safe", but also watch for new features that actually matter. What don't understand are peopke still using things like Apache 1.3. 2.0 was released in 2001. Being over eleven years behind is a bit extreme to me.
