I use core, updates, extras, livna and kde-redhat enabled by default. Since 
you're coming from Mandriva, you'll probably like to use KDE and kde-redhat 
provides excellent quality, up-to-date, KDE packaging for FC.
I also have freshrpms and dries configured, but not enabled by default. There 
are packages that I use which are not provided by the first set of 
repositories, like arj, acroread, cinelerra and others. However, I enable 
dries and FreshRPMs only when I need to download something from them.
