Hello Difficult to answer in my opinion, they all have more or less bugs. I have only had the 2021 and the 2022 so far (2023 early next year) but I would tend to say that the 2021 was a bit more stable. For the overall performance I will have a hard time answering because the security overlays on our workstations penalize the overall functioning of SW. Basically, at iso poste we went from a score of about 80s (SW performance test) to more than 110s (we had gone back down to 80s but it's fluctuating at the moment). Now, if you are under a maintenance contract, you might as well tell you that you are not paying for anything if you are not at least on an n-2 version compared to the current major version (and even n-1 would be more suitable). In any case, for a SW production, do not install a version lower than SP3 unless your IT department allows an update during the year when the SPs are released. With us, we are systematically on the n-1 version in SP5.
Start by checking the compatibility of your computer hardware with the targeted versions... As @Cyril.f says, it's almost a "Personal" feeling for the stability of one version compared to another. We are in 2022_sp4 on all our PCs and the result is... Fluctuating... However, don't switch to a version lower than SP4, and I would advise not to use the current year's version...
