Well, I would recommend Interarchy (but that's not surprising since I 
wrote Anarchie/Interarchy originally, although I have since sold it).

Any sync you do, no matter what, if you screw up the settings is 
going to cause a lot of damage.

Regardless of what tool you use, you should use the Dry Run mode 
provided (Interarchy and rsync both have a Dry Run mode).

The way I work is to set up a mirror and an Auto Update in 
Interarchy, then in BBEdit when I work on an individual file, I edit 
that file, press control-U which runs an AppleScript

tell application "BBEdit"
        set thefile to file of window 1
end tell
tell application "Interarchy"
        open thefile
end tell

which has Interarchy upload the file to the popper place. 
Alternatively, if I make lots of changes, I run the mirror bookmark 
which refreshes all the changed files.

And all of that actually uploads to a working directory on my server 
that is available via apache on a different port with restricted 
access, so once I've confirmed it is correct, I then run an rsync on 
the remove machine to make the changes live.

Enjoy,
    Peter.
