Well it's hard to live with a debian/unstable in aproduction environment, I tell you! I reverted to etch since I hoped to have the best of both worlds: stable AND multimedia! (which obviously isnt the case!)
right, sometimes it is really hard to decide which one to use.
still i think that running plain "etch" will not get you far, if you want to try things out (in multimedia). if you have a small set of applications (e.g. ardour, a certain Pd-patch) you have to run really stable then you might be fine with etch.
Don't forget there is also etch-backports which is now 'official' I think.
