I ran unstable on a server for several years in order to have some more
up-to-date packages (this was in the woody era). I eventually regretted
it, as e.g. libc updates are things you can live without when trying to
provide a stable service.
I'd just go with stable, keep an eye on the debian-security list and
backport anything that you really need (which should be very little).
