Is there a centosplus repo I can use with apt-get, or do I have to rely on yum for centosplus?

Apt is currently only for i386 ... but it will work with centosplus if you add centosplus to the repos. It is disabled by default.
Look at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/centos.list
However, I do not know how to exclude some packages using apt, so you should be very careful using it with centosplus or it will upgrade many items.

Do you have the apt provided by centos ... or from another vendor?
What does this say:
rpm -q apt
The result should be:
apt-0.5.15cnc6-4.centos4.i386
If you have someone else's apt, it erased our configuration file.

I remember now from a previous thread on this. The dag repo replaced the centos apt with
apt-0.5.15lorg3.1-1.el4.rf
What I've been doing lately is using
yum upgrade
to keep my system up to date, and only occasionally using Synaptic. But I prefer the Synaptic interface a lot more.

I think you replaced it yourself :)
The CentOS configuration however should not be part of the apt package. Because I cannot differentiate between RHEL and CentOS, and I doubt RHEL users would be glad if by default CentOS updates are being installed.
IMO it would be so much easier if there was a release-centos package, much like the release-rpmforge package, which takes care of configuring any and all dependency resolver in one go.

if someone can open an issue report at http://bugs.centos.org, we'll make sure that this happens - for yum, apt, smart and up2date config's to be included via the CentOS-Release package. ( at the moment we have a centos-yumconf, which we could obsolete with the centos-release package, and add this config info directly in there. ).
