Now that Sarge is released, do I need to point 'update' & 'upgrade' to

No, you can do nothing, if you like.
Pointing it to "stable" would only do something once the next release
happens. Then, the new "stable" would be uhh... whatever that new
name is, and then you'd see lots of upgradable packages. For now,
it'll make no difference.
Basically, if you intend to specifically use sarge and nothing else,
put sarge in there. You might do that if sarge does what you need and
you're following the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy.
On the other hand, if you intend to keep upgrading to the most modern
stable system available, and you don't want to manually do the switch
(although it'll essentially be manual anyway) use "stable".
Sounds good. Next link in the chain, will I have to use 'dist-upgrade'?
Those times I've used it have usually had bad results. If I can continue
to manually repair what's 'held back', that seems safer to me.

Yesterday on the chat rooms it was claimed that using aptitude was more
successful and effective than using apt-get dist-upgrade. Apparently
aptitude is supposed to do the conflict resolution better than
dist-upgrade or apt-get.
I have not personally any experience to confirm or deny this statement.
