I think we may need to put a page at winehq.org for this since it is a FAQ, 
shortly wine project are:

wine - the open source thats the base for all, still developed normally with 
support from codewavers mostly

crossover - Codewavers commercial version of wine includes some more user 
friendliness and support, and some hacks that run specific programs

winex - Commercial wine version sold by subscription bases, developing wine to 
run games, and has copy write protection modules, meaning run games from 
protected cds

darwin - wine for mac, based of main wine

rewind - a project with a very open license that trys to be the base of 
exchange for all (not sure if someone still maintains it)


Stability? 
usually you will want a commercial version so you will have support so either 
crossover or winex, depends if you need programs or games
