The occasional 'apt-get update;' + 'apt-get upgrade' sees you through
stable for a long time without any problems. Take your time with
unstable and do as John Hasler advises. You have to be on top of it to
avoid any surprises.
upgrading and dist-upgrading frequently isn't obligatory. I've gone for
months without touching apt-get.
