What exactly do you mean by "unstabilities"? From your message, it seems 
like you get results only when you use Nessj; otherwise, the plugin runs 
but exits immediately / almost immediately. This suggests the problem is 
not one of the plugin's stability but rather that you're having trouble 
properly configuring the clients: subtle differences in the 
configurations could very easily explain the different / lack of results 
you're seeing.

For example, when you don't get any results, have you specifically 
enabled the Nikto plugin? You not only need to select the plugin but 
there's also a preference ("Enable Nikto") that must checked or the 
plugin exits immediately.
