The build process itself failing has zero to do with stability. That
usually just means something was tweaked (usually while trying to
improve stability/quality) and for one reason or another didn't compile
at first.

Due to the nature of snapshots, the latest one is almost always the best
one to use. The only way to know otherwise is to test them yourself or
listen for feedback from others.
