My understanding was that if you have more than two repositories then it is better to use pinning, using /etc/apt/preferences, so you can set different priorities for each of the non-default releases. The exact configuration then depends on which of the three repositories you want to prioritise - i.e. do you want to track stable but having testing/unstable packages available, or do you want to track testing or unstable.
