So I have an iPhone 4s running 5.1.1 iOS 5. My question is....if I jailbreak it, will that affect my privacy on the phone? Third party apps kinda scare me since they aren't regulated by Apple. What about stability? Would it affect it in any way? Example: random apps closing/bugging, etc?😱

And also, to jailbreak an iPhone 4s on 5.1.1, I would use Absinthe 2.0? And this WOULD be untethered, right?
 
Your phone will be equally secure either way.

If you install OpenSSH, just change the default and mobile passwords
