Also, which kernel version?

the current time I'm actually looking to get rid of VMWare except for

Can anyone recommend which version (stable, testing, unstable) I should
use as a host OS with VMWare 5? Debian will be the host OS and I'll
have a number of guest OS instances running under VMWare.
Also, which kernel version?
Thanks!

Are you sure i cannot go back to stable ?
I don't think so, at least not without reinstalling. You can upgrade from
