I'm not sure that was the question. I think the OP wants to know in
what order he should prioritize all those repos. To which I say: What
the heck do you need that many repos for in the first place? Mixing
third party repos is usually problematic, even if properly
prioritized. It becomes a dependency nightmare.
If you really need those repos, I would install them, but configure
them with "enabled=0" and manually enable them on the yum command line
only when needed.
Perhaps a little background would help. What services do you need from
all of those repos? Are you running a do-everything desktop machine,
or servers? Have you considered virtualization as a way to isolate the
instances where third party packages are needed?
