Are most of you just running the update scripts one by one (and hoping all is well)? Are you making your own scripts (of your custom stuff) and running them on the newest db version? Are you somehow separating you data and dumping it to a SQL file so that you can source it into a new db version? Or are you just ignoring the latest version ("who cares about that PEQ stuff, my stuff rocks!")? Apparently Tabasco has developed a db diff merge program of sorts (sorry Tab, I am sure it's wonderful, I am just not wanting to set up a php server right now to use it), is something like this what you are generally using?

I write all of my custom content into sql files that way I can source it into any future database with minimal headaches. I've only encountered significant problems twice in the 2 years or so that I have been around this project and both of those times could have been avoided with a bit more planning on my part.
