Heres something interesting I read on another board
Just some food for though before James chimes in - I've got a flatsawn Warmoth maple neck, and a quartersawn Fender maple neck. The flatsawn Warmoth neck has not shifted a bit ever since I did the first setup on that guitar last year, and it's been exposed to many climate changes since I leave it all around the house or garage and it has no case. It's more stable than the Fender neck, that has not been bad, but has needed a bit of adjustment here and there. The reason why? The dual action truss rod in the Warmoth neck. So personally, I wouldn't put too much concern on stability as far as sawing methods go, since it doesn't need to be a concern if you get a stable truss rod inside it.
I only posted this cause I noticed they mention sawing quite abit in the 'debate'

If the neck warps sideways or twists (as has happened to me), no truss rod is going to help you 
I'll just close with this- if Sterling, Dudley and folks at MM were worried about stability they wouldn't make necks with any birdseye in them. But they do. Good enough for them, good enough for me.

I love birdseye necks especially when there's some nice flame in there too
