I do use different sets of numbers depending on what a given system runs. In addition to the priority scores, use of exclude= etc is also important if you aim at getting certain packages from a repository of your choice.
It is this exclude=foo that I'm interested in. If you have the setup you have described, then one would not need exclude as the yum priority should take care of versions shouldn't it?
If you have say webmin from webmin.com and there is webmin in all those repos then it might be good to use exclude but shouldn't the plugin handle versions between repos?
You can find some useful examples here:

It's case by case. You need to find a good combined use of the priorities plugin and exclude=, includepkgs=, etc.
