I've been using dselect for a few years now and never really had a
problem with it ... occasionally using apt command-line tools when
necessary ...

Seems like a lot of people don't care for dselect.  What do you find
wrong with dselect, and why do you like aptitude better?

Also, there are no new packages available that I don't know about yet
... will aptitude tell me about them in a really obvious way, as dselect
does by putting them right up top?  If I look at them in aptitude, will
they still show up as new in dselect, or will they be marked as seen?
