I believe it is really a matter of personal preference.  up2date can use 
apt, yum and directory archives to get updates.  yum is strictly yum 
archives.  apt is strictly apt archives.  yum is more popular on this 
list; although I personally like the flexibility of up2date.

The best thing, stick with one and learn all the options.  This includes 
all the configuration files and other uses.

Good Luck,
