ntpdate is really only any good being run once (at boot), for example if you have a clock that can't keep time while the system is off.
I'm not aware of any cases where one needs to run ntpdate at startup before running ntpd, because one can run 'ntpd -g' at startup which will correct a very large offset. If I'm wrong I'd love to hear about it.
This should be true for ntp-stable (4.2.6) and behaves even better for ntp-dev (4.2.7).
