I used nv for many years. It was a lot more stable than the nvidia drivers. But then the upper echelons of power in debian decided to no longer support it in the testing distribution. I am not complaining, I am sure they have good reasons. But this is when the trouble started for me, the kernel module dunce. Every few months a new nvidia nightmare. This was the biggest of all, but there have been others.
