I think windowmaker (0.53.0) is quite stable... it never crahs my box (which is up with X running 24/7) with Xfree 3.3.3.1 and Xaccel 5.01. I used kde once, but the orrible way it installs (everthing scattered in /usr/local and not in a /usr/local/kde, pehaps with symlink in /usr/local) prevent me to use it anymore. Never used gnome... but it looks cool...
