You seem to be mainly an end-user, who wants a stable running
system. Then Iīd suggest you run FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE.
Go and install FreeBSD-2.2.2 and the get the latest updates via
cvsup, this results then in a 2.2-STABLE system.
-current is mainly for OS and ports developers only.

FreeBSD-current has very experimental code in it. Itīs questionable
if itīs always "better code". From time to time tested code from
3.0-current, that might be useful for 2.2 is merged into the 2.2-STABLE
tree.
I think you should stay with 2.2-STABLE.
