I think I almost upgraded php once on sponge, for some app,
but in the end I used a different (better) app. It's running
PHP/4.1.2 right now, runs fine.

I'd go with stable for a rock solid server, just make sure
to add security.debian.org in your sources.list (it'll
ask you during the install anyway) and apt-get update ;
apt-get upgrade it before you let the big bad world see it.
