I think that it really depends on your needs. I'm very happy right now
with the very latest testing kernel from the developers. Basically

2.6.14-rc3 + rt7

However many others might not be. It was hard to find a configuration
that compiled. Once I did the side effects so far have been very
minimal. Then again my application is essentially recording studio
oriented. I need very low real time latencies. This kernel is giving
me that, but there are costs, such as no ATI driver support, etc.

So, I think it really depends on your needs.

As for ck-sources, it builds for me and it does run, but so farit
doesn't seem to play with the Jack server and Jack apps very well. I
expect it's me and not ck-sources, but I don't know.

So, my desktop usage is probably very different from yours and we end
up making different choices.

My 2 cents,
Mark
