Hi,
Is it not ok to use both plugins at the same time? I have read from the wiki page of centos that you must use only either protect base or priorities plugin. I have been using the the config file below for months and did not encounter any problems. I used priority=1 and protect=1 on base and updates (addons,extras protect=1 ; set no priorities) for the CentOS-Base repo and on the rpmforge repo I used protect=0 and did not set any priority. Should I enable only one (protect base or priorities) and not both? Thanks.

No it isn't.
Use priorities (newer) as it allows more flexible control over protectbase (older).
Other then that your configs look fine.

Should we then uninstall the protectbase plugin once we are using the priorities plugin?
Probably a dumb question, but I think we should be very clear about this.
Thanks.

Just for the record, basically protectbase is priorities with only 2 settings (0 and 1)
So, if you have both installed, protectbase will override the priorities.
So, you should pick one or the other, but not both.

Thanks for this. I was wondering if you could tell me the default priority for the 'priorities' plugin? I've made a point of ensuring that *every* repo gets a priority even if disabled. I'm wondering if it is necessary.

Default level is 99 if not specified.
It's all right in the wiki:
