My rules of thumb are:

1) If you are good at Operations, root the device, install CyanogenMod
+ DroidWall + AdAway + Lookout + Sophos. Check for updates for both
Cyanogen and Play regularly.  Install only the apps you need and only
from trusted sources.  Try not to do anything risky with it.

2) If you suck at Operations, go with Lookout and Sophos and hope that
your carrier will do a better job of updates and secure configuration
than you would.  Expect to get popped eventually.

Thanks Josh ... But Cyanogenmod, is it easily upgradeable? Looking at
their website I only see tutorials about clean installs ...
