Its beta, if you want a toy to play with V19 is the way to go. If you have actual work to do, that seems a poor choice.
V19 does offer a lot of cool looking features and I am excited to move to it in 6 months or so when it is stable.
I am on V18 presently, I was excited for the dialogue tools added, but turns out they aren't really fully baked and are fixed in V19. I don't care about subtitles.
So unless you need one of the few features added in V18, I would recommend V17.4.6. It was rock stable for me. Sadly I can't go back now.
