I *always* wait at least a few days, if not a week or two *after* an
update is available before upgrading, monitoring the support list for
any gotchas... but... I always do update as soon as practicable.

Waiting almost always keeps me from any major bugs from new packages
(one exception was a minor update to mailman that changed directory
locations), and still lets me stay up to date with the latest stable
releases.
