Hello,
On my experience, we are, in my job, used jdk 1.4.2, 1.5 and now 1.6.0.
After the 1.5 vesion the introspection is faster. No incompatibilities errors.
Projet Use Spring, Hibernate, etc...
Also if you don't use a compatible package, you have to do a migration to jre 1.6.
For documentation you can read many things on http://java.sun.com/javase/6/

1.6 is the newest stable version.
Look at the release notes for what has changed. If performance is a issue then moving to 1.6 should be a big improvement overall.
We are also looking for a most stable java version.
We decided to upgrade to 1.5.0 series from the existing 1.4.2_XX for our applet as plug-in. We are looking some thing that is later to 1.5.0_06 as we are looking for a DST changes compatible version. Which is the most stable version under java 1.5.0 series later to 1.5.0_06?

If you want better performance and DST changes then move to 1.6.
Otherwise, you are going to need to define what you mean by stable.
