For unmanaged and semi-managed routers, I'd suggest strict out-bound packet controls (i.e. be conservative in what you send) because you already need to make operational updates when they change. But consider using inbound controls that require less extensive recurring maintenance, e.g. only filtering martians (i.e. 0/8, 127/8, 255.255.255.255/32, etc) instead of updating bogons (i.e. changing reserved and unallocated) every few months.
I think we're in violent agreement here. -r
