You *should* have both in your sources.list.
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
Or am I misunderstanding you?

I've added both repositories in sources.list, then apt-get update
apt-get upgrade. All work fine, my doubt is how packages are
updated... are there problems or likely dependencies conflicts using
both repositories? Maybe is more desirable using only security
updates? I've installed apache,mysql,postfix and hylafax on some
servers, I'm afraid of upgrading because are little but production
servers.
Then, apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade... what differences?
