Suggestions for Updates?

[divinelighting]

I'm trying to figure out my update procedure, and am looking at the following threads:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=247
Outlines how to activate cron for nightly DA build updates.
To confirm, in the custombuild options.conf file, php, mysql, and apache versions should match what is on the server. They are not meant as a way to upgrade php from 5.3 to 5.4.

http://directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22587
Is this update script (that is not supported by DA) an alternative to or suppliment to the custombuild update?

In addition to these, what other update procedures are recommended?

Thanks
