[Tfug] Convince me to use SID

Okay, as some of you know (from my previous email) I've had a HDD fail on 
me (wiping out 20GB of data) and I'm looking at reinstalling.

In the past I've used Debian testing because I like newish packages, but 
still want a pretty stable and robust system. I've been very pleased with 
it in the past.

Well, XFree86 4.3 is going to take forever to get in standard Debian 
testing, and I really would like it's support for my Radeon.

So, can anyone give me any good arguments why I should (or should not) use 
Sid for my main desktop? (I do Tux4Kids development, web-management, run a 
home business, and play games on it)

Will it crash on me often?

Does it have a tendancy to corrupt data?
