IMO openser stable (1.0.x) is as stable as ser is.

There are also lots of new features in ser-CVS head, but ser-CVS head is 
under heavy development and thus not very stable.

e.g. for production use with nice features (AVPs, pseudo variables ...) 
I use openser.

For testing (e.g. TLS stuff) I use openser and ser-CVS-head.

My conclusion: for a stable system use openser. If you need certain new 
features you can choose ser-cvs-head (presence, TLS, ratelimit) or 
openser (new statistics module).
