Are there any issues with compatibility of ports/packages with either method? I'm guessing no, unless you're running -current?

Switching to stable will mostly require that you recompile the kernel+user land, the -STABLE ports tree was discontinued, so the -RELEASE packages are the ones you'll need.
If you use -STABLE, it'll require that you check for updates every few weeks...
I'm not going to recommend one over the other, -STABLE might be manageable, (far more then -CURRENT), but -RELEASE+patches only requires that you peek at the errata page every now and then.
Use your own judgement I guess..
