I play on three versions--360, PS3, Vita. Community is alive and well on the 360 and PS3. You'll probably find an equal amount of players on either console, with perhaps a slight skewing toward the PS3 version. Otherwise, the PC crowd, from what I'm hearing, has encountered a number of matchmaking bugs that impede online playability.
As for "stability," both console versions run really well online. It is important to note, though, that your in-match experience will vary depending on who and where your opponent is. A person from California, for instance, is going to have a tough time playing someone from the UK with anything but the most reliable of moves. And Injustice has a pretty large international following, so you're bound to have a laggy match here and there.
Concerning fightsticks: Injustice, much like Mortal Kombat, is a fighting game very specifically designed to work on a controller. You can certainly use a fightstick and be successful--many players do--but the game has controllers in mind from top to bottom. Though I've really enjoyed the time I've spent with this game using a stick, I'm, without question, more comfortable playing with a controller. And as far as the PS3 vs 360 controller goes, I had some issues with the PS3 controllers reading forward/backward jump inputs incorrectly, and less consequential issues with the 360 controller not recognizing quick directional inputs before special moves (that is, the "down, forwardses" or "back, forwardses" before a face button). It's fair to note here that I've since used the PS4 controller on the PS3 version of Injustice, and that seems in many ways like the ideal controller for the game.
So, to answer your question simply: it's a coinflip between the 360 and PS3 version. It's a great game oozing with content. You won't go wrong either way.
