This question however does come up enough and since asterisk is
primarily a linux app (yes it works in freebsd and such but ...)

The stability of linux is largely based on the kernel.  Only if there is
a bug in the kernel itself can a userspace app take it down through
normal means (DoS attacks I am not counting for stability purposes).  

Given that all distros use basically the same kernel they will all be
roughly the same in terms of stability.  The distros differ in default
userspace apps, how new apps are installed, etc.  Given that you may
want to refine your question a bit.
