Well, yeah "stable" is always a matter of opinion.

Ubuntu 13.04 is using the 0.9.9 series. And that series is only getting 
a limited number of stable fixes. The last release from 0.9.9 was 
0.9.9.0. So 0.9.9.0 is "stable" by Ubuntu standards, although 13.04 will 
release with something closer to 0.9.9.2.

If you wish to define stable as mostly unchanged for a matter of years 
("mature"), then look to compiz 0.8.* which is not maintained by the 
compiz team in launchpad.

If you want something that is being maintained then use a 0.9 version, 
of which 0.9.9 is the stable series.
