I use -current on all my systems. I build from source, as I use a custom kernel and a custom userland on the build platforms, then make GENERIC releases available for binary rollout to other systems from there.
I'll rarely go "beyond -current" and test uncommitted patches offered on tech@, if the offered patch addresses something of specific interest. I just did that last week for a Via chipset I use on a server; it was the first time I'd installed an uncommitted patch in many months.
-----
Since I run common archs, I use snapshot packages when possible, and build ports when necessary. I know a couple of people who not only build -current from source, but who build the entire ports tree in sync with their release. I don't. I lack the time, interest, processing power, and storage space.
