Default "Best" way to update Packages on HDD Install

What is the prefered method of updating installed packages on a Backtrack HDD Install. (Full install not livecd).

Is it okay to use #slapt-get --distro-upgrade and let it exclude/update/remove packages automatically?

Can I also use the --remove-obsolete option to clean up ok?

How about RPM package manager?

Example: NMap 4.03 was released as RPM binary
http://www.insecure.org/nmap/install...tall-from-rpms

I retrieved package as instructed but how to I install/replace the existing nmap install/package (4.00) ?
