If you specify beta, your nas will "see" beta releases when you check for updates. If you select "stable" it will operate the way it always has (finding new production releases). LTS (long term stable) shows the fewest updates (for instancing, not showing you 6.9.x, but showing you 6.10.0 when it is available).

Well, it depends on the level of risk you want to take.
If you have a business NAS, you might opt for LTS. I'll likely set my primary NAS to stable and my backup NAS to beta.
