Clearly, there is a reason that the 686 version exists.
It takes better advantage of the 686 instruction set... which IMNSHO, is a much better usage of the hardware.
Insofar as it being stable, when the 386 kernel changes (for security/etc problems) the 686 will changes too.
IOW, if they update the 686 Kernel, the 386 kernel will be as well. Virtually no reason NOT to use the 686 variant.
