The unofficial FAQ only shows how to use yum with additional repositories. Which you may use depend from your needs and personal taste. Regarding compatibility due to mixing several repositories there have been much of discussions here on the list. Please search the archive if interested. Quality of packages and security standards of third party repositories as well if Fedora Extras is a different topic. You don't have to enable other repositories all the time; see `man yum'. So you can use i.e. freshrpms.net only from time to time to selective install additional packages and by using yum you avoid the rpm dependency problems.
