First I don't think there's any stability issues with either machine. Second, which one you get is entirely dependant upon your needs. If you're gonna be doing a lot of effects and VI's, then go with more processors. (Particularly if you're gonna use Altiverb.)
Otherwise, buy lots of RAM, and get the 2.0.
