Stable releases are x.even.y and y increases only with minor changes.
Development releases are x.odd.y and y increases regularly while
features are added.  Stable releases are intended for long-term use and
stability.  Development releases for access to newest features some of
which may be unstable and/or unreliable/unfinished.  For that reason, if
you upgrade rather rarely, development releases are an iffy choice.  If
you decide for using a development release, it makes sense to update
regularly.
