Beta vs Preview
Is the Beta less risky than the Preview? Normally I think of Preview as stuff that's almost ready to go live and Beta as not quite Preview quality. However the wording of each in the settings seem to indicate the opposite.

Is Beta or Preview "safer" ?

According to the info text on the Deck, one's about Steam beta, the other's about Steam beta & OS beta. With that in mind, it's easy to tell which is riskier.

That text is pretty good, you should read it.

What I usually think is this:

Preview = Dev
Beta = Testing (Stil not very stable yet due to bugs and issues but more stable than Preview, so use it at your own risk still)

I wouldn't use Beta or Preview since alot of people here uses Beta and complains about problems thinking Beta is Stable which it definitely is not.
