While 12.04 will be an LTS, it doesn't inherit complete stability. It is pretty stable (I'm running the beta 2), but it will be much more stable a few months after it comes out. Mint 9 has been out for almost 2 years, and is therefore very stable. If you're looking for stability, go with Mint 9 for the next 6-12 months and then switch to mint 13.
