It is difficult to tell what may happen in the future; since CentOS is very 
similar to SL, the CentOS wiki page on the rpmforge repository is 
instructional:

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge

Priorities are what I use, and I use the priorities recommended on those 
pages.

I have personally seen a few packages 'chain update' between RPMforge and EPEL 
back before I started using priorities, and one of them in particular was 
quite a bit different between the two repos (amavisd).
