I install the most recent -RELEASE version, cvsup to the security release branch (currently RELENG_4_3) and then make world. Unless you have bleeding edge hardware or there is a real clanger in -RELEASE this should give you a very stable platform without the need to continually build -STABLE test boxes or worry about different machines being at slightly different points in the -STABLE tree. Generally speaking the only updates I apply from then are security fixes from the security branch and an upgrade to each -RELEASE (as security patches are normally against the most recent release).
