The core of both Python distributions is identical so neither is more
stable than the other. ActivePython just has a nicer installer, includes
more modules (like the Win32 extensions on Windows) and has an automatic
module installer that can download and install modules from the
ActiveState website. But you can't go wrong with either one.

Cheers,
