wich iso is the best?

HP has injected more no of management tools in Vanilla ESXi ISO. It will make sure that you will have more control than Vanilla ESXi ISO.

Is ESXi 6 stable enough now?

IMO, N-1 is always Best. But, If you really want to enjoy the features added in 6, Forget about its stability. Go for it (6).

Read through this VMWare 6 forum and see which issues you may expect. I think there were a few people in here with HP blades testing version 6 and facing some strange issues on or after upgrade.
