That's what I was thinking as well. Just wanted a second opinion just to be
sure. Thanks bunches! Oh something else I just thought of though. What about
my ports? Should I track those from the same branch or is it all right to
use the head for those? Only cuz I think I might have fouled that up and
selected the head already. If I should pick one further down the tree how do
I go about changing that?

Since you're wanting to learn, go with -STABLE. The -RELEASE versions
are way too static, and -CURRENT is really for the developers and
people willing to debug kernel dumps.
