From my very limited experience, the only Nook with buggy firmware is the Glowlight 3.
I have a couple of Nook ST w/Glowlights, a Glowlight Plus (2015) and a Glowlight 3 and the only one that is buggy is the 3. The Plus and the 3 run the same (or near identical) firmware and the Plus isn't buggy at all.
For example, if I sideload books on the 3, once I eject it I have to wait a good ten or fifteen minutes before I use it. If I mess with it too quickly after ejecting, it will forget which book I was currently reading and won't find books I search for. I believe it rebuilds its database from scratch every time it ejects and it is slow.
With my Plus, I just eject it and that's it, just like any other reader I've ever used. I only wish I had more than 2.5GB of hard drive on the Plus, but that's because I store too many books on my reader.
rcentros has also recently purchased a 2015 Plus. I think he's had some issues, but I believe they're with large (and possibly poorly constructed) ePubs. He can give you better details there than I can.
I haven't used the 7.8" Plus, but there don't seem to be constant reports of issues like there still are with the poor 3.
