I for one leave EPEL disabled, and only enable it manually when I absolutely need something from it thats not available elsewhere.
IMHO, on my CentOS 5.3 (32 bit) Desktop, RPMForge works very well. I have given it a much higher Priority than EPEL. When I added the EPEL Repository, the number of excluded packages went from approximately 400 to 1705. My belief is that if EPEL had a high priority, it would replace a *LOT* of packages I do not want replaced.
