Actually, I think urxvt (rxvt-unicode) is a good alternative to xterm/rxvt.
It is derived from rxvt codebase, it supports utf-8, Xft, transparency.
It can be run in client/server mode where a daemon is launched (urxvtd) and you can request a new term from the server with urxvtc.
It is very stable, I can't remember last time it crashed.
