I too vote for using 2.6.37 in 11.4.
I have a biased view, but I consider the new drivers for wireless devices to be
very important. In particular, brcm80211 supplies an open-source driver where
none existed before for some new devices. It also marks the first time that
Broadcom has provided open-source code. Another new driver, r8712u, is extremely
stable, whereas the previous vendor driver for those devices was not. These
drivers are available through Packman, but that entails all the disadvantages of
out-of-kernel drivers.
I have been running 2.6.37 since the post-2.6.36 merge started. I have found and
reported a couple of small bugs, but nothing very serious.
