If you're looking at stable I suggest using "Exe Linux" built on Devuan 
Jessie and TDE for Jessie.  It's what I recommend and what I use unless 
I'm doing a core/base install.
  https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=exe

As for Devuan ASCII it's still a work in progress and I suggest only for 
testing.

The Devuan mailing list is a good source for info if you are serious 
about saying no to systemd as I am.
