Galeon 1.2.8 about only purpose was to have a release from the stable
branch that works with mozilla 1.3b, because that's what people would've
come asking for anyway.  IIRC there were no other changes to code than
following a small API change in mozilla.  The change has no effect on
stability on galeon's side.

If you prefer mozilla 1.2 you can either use 1.2.8 or just keep your
older 1.2.7, there's no benefit from upgrading.  However, if you *want*
to use the possibly more unstable mozilla 1.3b and have a galeon to go
with it, you *need* 1.2.8.


As far as galeon-1.3.x goes, it's quite stable, just lacking features. 
Of course the stability depends also on the mozilla it's used with.  I'm
not sure, but I think the gtk2 support in mozilla hasn't been given the
'stable' stamp yet, but in practice it would appear to be pretty good
currently.

If you want to be on the safe side, you should probably wait until
mozilla starts shipping gtk2 builds by default.
