When I have to install a new box, I always take the latest stable
version I get, do a pure base system install, then edit
/etc/apt/sources.list to read "unstable" instead of the stable
version name, e.g:

# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb     http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

Then I do:

# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# apt-get upgrade

This worked for the last years. It may be that you have to repeat the
above steps in order to resolve all dependencies which may be broken
during the distribution upgrade, but usually this works quite well.

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux unstable since 1997, BTW. ;-)

Greetings,
Stefan
