Actually, now is a good time to go with Stable. 1.0.9 will soon reach
Unstable and later Testing if all goes well. But currently the packages
in Testing are not even newer than the ones in Stable.
I figure that Stable or Stable+backports is generally a saner path than 
the constant updates of unstable/testing: 

If you want a development platform with generally the latest and
greatest, then testing/unstable is good for you. But if you want a solid
PBX onto which you can apply fixes to issues without upgrading the whole
system in the process, Stable is your choice.
