use RELEASE for a production server, STABLE on a desktop or test
machine. IMHO
use CVS if you have to build a custom kernel, I do this on my two
production servers. On my minimal install print servers, I use
freebsd-update about once a month. it is a bit fiddly to get
through a proxy that needs auth, but it can be done.

it works, it is quick, if you use the generic kernel.
