Good minimal distro today?

Hi all, I want a distro which is relatively stable, but not hard to keep some components up to date, especially accessibility components like Orca, as well as Firefox. In principle, I don't want a full desktop environment, just enough to run Firefox plus Orca, and possibly other desktop apps later. I have successfully set up ratpoison a few years ago with the help of the Strychnine script developed by Storm, so maybe the easiest path is to get it again.

I'd like opinions on the distro to use. ArchLinux has the advantage of requiring few disk space and always having the latest software, but I've tried it some years ago, and it appears too prone to break things, especially the audio stuff due to constant upgrading. Is it still true today? Another option is Debian unstable, which I've never tried. Does it use to break too? I've also read about VoidLinux. Has anyone tried it yet? I know about Slint as well, but the manual states that it requires 50 gb disk space at least, and I'm currently out of disk space, around 15 gb at most.

Thanks for comments,
Cleverson
