if I have a local centos yum mirror, whats the best way of adjusting the yum.repos.d/*.repo files to use this? If I simply edit CentOS-Base.repo there stands a chance that a yum update could conflict with my changes.

am I better off creating a 'new' .repo and setting the stock one to 'enable=0' ?

In my case, I change the baseurl= line to my local yum repo and comment out the mirrorlist= line to force getting files locally only.

That's what we do as well.

Locally built packages, on the other hand, are stored in a separate local repo; those do get their own .repo file.
