I would guess that its the same for EDO/NON-EDO as well. I've seen it go both ways, both performance and reliability. A friend with a P133 that kept crashing during a Linux install would work fine if he ran with either the 16MB of EDO or the 16MB of FP DRAM, but wouldn't even make it past the first install screen with both. My machine at home has had very odd mixes of memory, and has never complained about any of it.
