Mainline is where new features arrive. Think of it kind of like what used to be Firefox Aurora. Stable is snapshots of mainline taken less frequently that are considered suitable for long term use. Mainline has newer features, but isn't quite a nightly build. Stable has fewer features but is more stable. I use mainline for my needs, including in production.

The really interesting point is that nginx considers mainline to be more reliable than stable because stable does not receive all bug fixes, only the critical ones.
