Wine issues regular "releases" roughly every 2 weeks, these are the development versions.  Unlike the stable versions, there isn't a lot of testing done before they're released.  That doesn't mean no testing, it just means, not as much testing.  So new features get added to the development version, and not to the stable version.  For many applications, the development version works better.  Yet for some, it works worse.  This is known as a regression, and there have been plenty.

So which is best for you?  Often, the development version.  But sometimes not.  There's no way to know except to try.
