You can keep all desired repositories enabled as long as you have
yum-plugin-priorities installed and keep third-party repositories with
lesser priority (larger number). Like base=1, epel=2, repoforge=3,
rpmfusion-* =3, etc.
Here is how I decided to setup third party repositories:

There are few changes needed like "torakat" repo with now centosplus
kernels.
