If stability is essential, I highly recommend Debian Stable.

It won't have the latest packages and I can't promise that things won't 
ever break, but it's very unlikely to.

The user should consult the release notes before upgrading to a new 
release version, to avoid any known incompatibilities.

If the user needs certain newer packages, such as Orca, they can get them 
from Debian Backports.

It's also a good idea for them to subscribe to debian-accessibility (it's 
not busy).

HTH,
