i run a private rsync server that does a single update every day, and then i
manually do an "emerge --pretend --update --deep world" on each of my
machines (3) and update everything that doesn't look scary (ie. i would wait
a few days to emerge gcc just to make sure that it didn't accidentally get
unmasked etc.).
i've found that there's no reason to fear the "--deep" switch. all it does is
check for upgrades a little deeper than without. i've never had problems
with it.
