Both are stable, however, when it comes to networking, 2000 pro has a clear advantage. In XP a person who wants to access shared files does not need to enter user name or password in 2000 you do need to. XP runs better on newer machines than it does on older machines. It has a lot of visual frills and other stuff, when compared to the plain and simple looking 2000. However, those features can be customized.
As for 2000 pro, I have never had it crash, or BSOD on me. It ran nearly all my games and software. And ran very quick. I didn't need to worry about regestering it at MS everytime I reinstalled. I didn't even have a limit to the number of times I could install it.
Whatever choice you make can't be a bad one. Good luck.
