I would recommend the snapshot package, I have never had any problems
with it. Plus, the gtk-Interface is prettier. (fetch
emacs-snapshot-gtk to use it).
I do not know how up-to-date the package is in Ubuntu, so having a
look at the Bugs filed against it might be a good idea.

What packages are this? I'm on Debian, I haven't seen such a package
so far.
BTW., you can install and use both versions without problems. Which
one is used as default can then be configured via update-alternatives
