Snapshots stable

Hi,

I am new to spring and I am wondering how stable snapshot versions are. I want to use mongodb with jpa and after searching the internet I found out, that I have to use

data-jpa -> 1.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
data-mongodb -> 1.1.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
data-commons-core -> 1.4.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT

But is it recommended to use these versions instead of the releases?

Thanks in advance
