I've had the best results with 14.4. & 14.9. 14.9 Has an issue where the CCC will crash sometimes, but how often do you actually open it for that to matter?

For Hawaii GPUs under Windows 7, I only noticed poor S@h stability with Catalyst 15.7.x so I have stayed with 14.12 (Omega) for now. (15.7.x was fine with games, etc.)

Interestingly, Hawaii under Linux seems just fine with fglrx 15.7.
