It's not really conflicting. It's just that your question is not well
defined. :)
If by "stability" you mean "which installer will most likely not crash
before it is finished" you should go with the latest beta. However, *I
expect* the daily to be just as well if not better in terms of the
number of know issues and it is probably overall closer to the final
version.
Either way: it doesn't really matter which one you try. Either it works
or it doesn't. By "works" I mean you get a bootable system with the
packages you want to have installed.
The quality of the resulting system does not depend on d-i very much but
on the quality of the packages that are currently in testing. This is
the same no matter which method installation method or which version of
d-i you used.
