I've used sid on my machines for decades, as have many other people. Works great. It's not an official "release" in that it's not all tested together, but neither is Arch, really.

i'd imagine sid is far more stable than arch, but that is just my anecdotal experience.

plus ... ubuntu is debian. can't rly imagine why you'd want to base a new distro that is debian-based on something other than debian.

arch is a cool distro that I definitely respect, but I don't think it is appropriate to use for a workstation that you need unless you are on a filesystem that will do snapshots before package updates such that you can easily rollback. ie btrfs/zypper.
