I'm using this device and I have some questions about this menu. Which option should I select for the most stable and high-performance use?

There are three options, it won't take you a full year to evaluate them yourself....

I don't understand much, so I have to ask you.

I don't understand why everyone on this forum is so angry.

We are not all like that so please don't judge us all because a few members are rude jerks. Although open source forums in general seem to be this way I will admit unfortunately.

No one can really tell you what will work best. You are going to have to try the options out for yourself. What I can tell you is that for me, leaving it at the default setting worked best for performance. Although I didn't really notice much of a difference either way so YMMV. Hope this helps.

If I install irqbalance and then disable packet boosting, will irqbalance automatically handle everything?

I need to learn by asking questions. I learned OpenWrt on my own and my native language is Turkish.

You don't learn anything by asking questions, you learn by trial and error.

Afaik this topic is very controversial, some say good, some say bad.

Dors not feel you earned mich asking same question 100 or so times in a row.
