which version is less likely to cause dependencies problems in the long run?
is there a way to avoid getting its dependencies manually?

First, which Devuan version are you using? If it's Chimaera (stable), then I'd avoid mixing and matching different repositories for the best chances at stability. Some of those packages (libssl1.0.0 in particular) are either no longer installable (deprecated) or not available in your main repository. If you were using Daedalus (testing) or Ceres (unstable), you might be able to get away with installing specific DEBs from other branches.
Have you tried to install from the official DEB file (2.18)? Using Ceres (unstable), GDebi tells me that "all dependencies are satisfiable".

looks like your link points to an amd64 file and I too couldn't find a newer version (>2.11) for i386 available
