No consensus. There are different bugs in each. You need to find out which
will cause you least grief.

Video drivers are one thing to focus on. If you use Intel, you might be least
happy with 11.1, but that depends particularly on which Intel chip you have.

Package management (mostly zypper-related) is most evolved in 11.1.

I don't remember all the other reasons any more, but the system I use the
most was built about a month after I got my 11.1 retail box, and uses 11.0
with a Radeon gfxcard. My other systems get Factory booted the most, and of
those you named, 10.3 gets booted the least.
