Like a few others have said, it really depends on what the system will be
used for. If a production server, I'd say stay with potato as much as
possible. If a home workstation, I'd say go with whichever strikes your
fancy.
I've been running woody for a few months now with very few problems. Every
now and then a package will get a bit bollixed, but usually gets straightened
out in fairly short order.
