There is a drop in freq for Pierce and Colpitt after 1 min of
startup. Can be 100Hz.
Serious enough.

Sounds like you're driving the crystal too hard and it's heating up.
When something heats it expands and a larger crystal has a lower
frequency. If you want best stability, reduce the drive until the
circuit barely oscillates and make up the lower output with a stage of
amplification.
