How do the biological propellants compare in terms of stability? Maybe not an issue for launches, but I'm curious about their viability in satellite thrusters that hang out for years/decades (although this is a digression from the GRG emission concern)

Satellite thrusters generally use stable hypergolics, to avoid the need for an ignition system, or electric systems such as ion or Hall thrusters.
