Mer will basically run the exact same apps as the default install so in that sense it is fine, but there is a handful a little things that make it hard to recommend. For mine the main one is that there is currently no control of the screen backlight, which may not matter for some. There is also no simple way to shut the device down (you can type a command into the command line but presumably most won't want to do that). Also in 0.15 wifi doesn't work out of the box, although it isn't that hard to fix, and should be working by 0.16testing3 due in a few days.
I'm running the testing images off my memory card and dual booting, and once they get backlight control I'd be tempted to use it full time. I'm reasonably happy with the stock OS after tweaking the theme and a few other things though.
