1) this is a question for wine-users mailing list, not
wine-devel.

2) In short: 
  Wine - the "main" branch of the Wine project
  ReWind branch was created after changing license for
Wine project to LGPL. ReWind keeps old BSD-style
license.
WineX is a commercial product from Transgaming with
some advanced features (DirectX 3D in particlar).
Other Wine-based commercial products - Codeweavers
Office and PlugIn, LindowsOS.

3) If you want stability look at Codeweavers Office,
don't know about other commercial products.
I believe the most advanced branch is main Wine
project, but it is much less stable. As I mentioned
before WineX has some features, not implemented in
Wine.
