many ways to judge.
1. the size one....carbonate ion is big...so big and big give stability to each other....so bigger the opposite radical/ion, more stable the compound.

THE CORRECT ONE.
2. As you know that in Carbonate there is resonance...of the pi bond.so it will avoid to combine, bond with species of high polarizing power....because it will attract, disturb the resonating electron...so the carbonates of the species will be stable which have big size and less polarizing power..

stability of carbontes is inversely proportional to covalent nature...
golden formula to judge the stability of carbonates...
