The "extra repo" is a big problem imho in EL world.
If you enable more than 1 on your system you will most certainly have 
problems.
My 2 favourite repos are RPMforge and EPEL, unfortunately they don't like 
each other. I believe RPMFusion is more compatible with EPEL, but they build 
primarily for Fedora; no repo for EL6 :-(

If you are using this system primarily as a desktop I'd use RPMforge only.
