Personally, I use Apt (w/Synaptic) for any updates outside of the major package sections like KDE or Gnome. I do this because I like to have access to a lot of the third party packages and you just can't do that with YaST to the same extent that you can with Apt. So, basically I use SuSE's supplemental update mirrors to notch up on desktop environment versions, and then use Apt for whatever else I desire to include.
However, this is NOT a recommendation as third party packages can and do break base systems. I've done it myself on several occasions. I would only advise that similar actions to mine be taken by people that do not mind fixing things that used to work properly (that's the best way I can phrase it I think). You will be doing this.
That said, here is my current sources.list from /etc/apt/.
It hasn't demolished anything recently.
