Stability of the oscillator means the how much frequency stability it have. Measure of frequency stability comes from "rate of change of phase w.r.t frequency", the more it is the more stable the oscillator is, because we know that one condition for oscillation is that the loop gain phase shift should be zero, hence if due to ckt. parameters there is some change in phase then by very little variations in frequency we can bring back the loop gain phase shift to zero. ex. is LC tank circuit which act as an osciilator at resonant frequency. Frequency stability can also be measure from quality factor, the higher it is the more stable ckt. is,

RC phase shift oscillator is used to generate frequency in audio range and it is a fixed audio frequency oscillator where as wien bridge oscillator is a variable audio frequency oscillator for high frequency oscillations it is better to design wide band amplifier with LC network
clapp oscillator have frequency more stable and accurate than colpitts oscillator.
A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator. The Hartley oscillator is an LC electronic oscillator that derives its feedback from a tapped coil in parallel with a capacitor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpitts_oscillator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartley_oscillator ~MECHASUN~ A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator.

depends on the oscillator and its purpose
A: It is a mechanical device once it is exited it will oscillate at its mechanical frequency unless the mechanics changes it will not drift as compered to other oscillators
The Clapp oscillator is a variation of the Colpitts oscillator that includes an additional capacitor in series with the inductor to improve frequency stability. This additional capacitor in the Clapp oscillator helps reduce the effect of the active device's parasitic capacitance, leading to better frequency stability compared to the Colpitts oscillator.
Factors affecting the frequency stability of an oscillator include temperature variations, voltage fluctuations, component aging, mechanical vibrations, and electromagnetic interference. These factors can cause deviations in the output frequency of the oscillator, impacting its stability over time. Using high-quality components, proper shielding, and temperature compensation techniques can help improve the frequency stability of an oscillator.
A: desirable oscillator will have no frequency deviation as a function of external influences such as temperature and more. Stability is measured as a % factor considering outside interferences

Practically, there are some factors that affect the frequency stability of Variation in temperature Oscillator • Circuit Components - Values of R, L and C changes with temperature • Transistor Parameters - causes variation in transistor parameters • Supply Voltages - Variations in power supply • Stray Capacitances • Output Load - Variations of load causes a change in effective resistance • Inter‐element Capacitance
DISADVANTAGES OF RC PHASE SHIFT OSCILLATOR.1. The output is small due to smaller feedback. 2. It is difficult for the Circuit to start oscillations.3. The Frequency stability is not so Good.4. It requires high Vcc. For large feedback.
Some disadvantages of Hartley oscillator include lower frequency stability compared to other oscillator configurations, sensitivity to variations in component values and external factors, and the potential for higher harmonic content in the output signal. Additionally, the design and tuning of a Hartley oscillator can be more complex compared to simpler oscillator configurations.
