I'de also reccomend running apt-cacher as you get:
fast local updates,
your packages are as current as the remote servers, you don't have to wait
to sync.
uses less space then a full mirror.
saves lots of bandwidth for you and for the debian servers.

With 10 clients running off 1 apt-cacher server you should see 9/10
bandwidth savings.
