I have 60"+ wide 2wd small displacement mini buggies. They are extremely stable at speed or off-camber but do get hung up more on tight trails. There have been some 50" trails that I can not access which would be the primary reason I would choose one of the UTV trail models. If I lived in open terrain, I would seek as much width and horsepower as I could afford to comfortably do those 100 mile day rides. Where I ride most often, 20 miles can take most of the day and speed is not your friend.
Any of the rear engine UTV's are more stable than the ones where your seat sits on top of the motor. I felt better riding in the wider UTV's but they still rock to the side more than my low CG buggies, so all UTV's feel less stable to me. I'm sure the 50" models are easier to lay on their side, but like any other vehicle, much depends on the driver.
