It is best to follow standard programming practices and protect individual parts of code where you see to be potential errors. As you said, use try/catch blocks to catch the errors and perhaps throw a customized exception or perform some other operations. Furthermore, if you are using ColdFusion MX 7, you can use the onError method within the Application.cfcfile to handle any errors that may come along that you didn't catch (which will happen at one time or another).
