The best bet is nearly always to go for the Stable firmware builds.

An exception to this though is if you have an ESP8266 module with only 512kb
55-
of onboard storage. You can easily tell by trying to load a Stable firmware
56-
build and if you get the error below, then you may have to use the Daily
57-
firmware builds for 512kb modules.

If you just start with MicroPython, the best bet is to go for the Stable
54+
firmware builds. If you are advanced, experienced MicroPython ESP8266 user
55+
who would like to follow development closely and help with testing new
56+
features, there are daily builds (note: you actually may need some
57+
development experience, e.g. being ready to follow git history to know
58+
what new changes and features were introduced).
59+
60+
Support for 512kb modules is provided on a feature preview basis. For end
61+
users, it's recommended to use modules with flash of 1024kb or more. As
62+
such, only daily builds for 512kb modules are provided.
