I have been using lenny for over a year now. I had some lockups at first 
but I never could tell if it was just on vm that was crashing and 
bringing the whole setup down. Since I have done cpu pinning and better 
ram management, I haven't had any problems.
I have been using squeeze as a desktop for over a year now with no 
problems. The only problems right now in squeeze will probably be 
related to installer quirks. I would give it a try. I am going to 
upgrade my set up probably in Dec. or so.
