When you're using snapshots, you don't need to compulsively update every hour/day or even month.. you can choose to do so occasionally but still on a regular basis, whenever you see something that peaks your interest.

As stated by ocicat, monitoring source-changes and current.html will help watch for big events like when libraries get bumped.. so you can plan accordingly (..wait for a bulk package rebuild, etc).

Running snapshots on your desktop/laptop isn't very disruptive, you just need to be aware of how things change.. but if you're not interested in closely following the development and working things out yourself, you may wish to follow release or stable.
