We just brought up a RHEL server at work.  I'm currently using
yum-priorities with EPEL and RPMForge.  I have been (doing a lame job
of) trying to dig through the documentation for best practices on
setting up yum and a system's repositories.  Do you prefer protect-base
or yum-priorities?  I didn't discover protect-base first, and after
setting up yum-priorities, I think it might be what I want.  

I'm also curious what RHEL admins do for packages not in the base repo.
I'm assuming they are not in EPEL, and I'm a little skittish about
RPMForge even though I'm using it for a couple of packages.
