Mike, This is probably a better question for the osm-dev list, but my opinion is: Yes - osmosis is the recommended way of doing it.
But, I have struggled to get it going on my database, so the way I do it is to just use daily updates and apply them with osm2pgsql. I have a simple script that looks to see if updates need applying, then downloads them - copy of script attached. I just run this as a daily cron job. Graham.
