And receive no out-of-band security updates, so you keep the holes for
3 days when lucky, and 10 to 15 days otherwise, when choosing
testing. So consider stable first, and if you like to be in danger every
time you dist-upgrade while *having* to do it each and every day, sid is
for your production servers.

stable + backports + volatile (when it makes sense) is a perfect choice :)
