It doesn't matter unless you want to use new packages than use the ones from Stable.
Stable uses packages that were released on that specific Debian release. So ALL the packages on Debian Stable will never be updated unless a major bug has been found or you update them yourself. The only updates Stable gets are security updates. You should have no problems running Testing or Stable. I don't recommend using Unstable if you're going to be installing a lot of packages, because then you have a higher chance of breaking your system.
I've used Testing for a long time and I haven't run into any issues.
Really it comes down to personal preference.
Are you okay with using old packages, or do you want packages that have been tested for awhile before being added to the repos?
