You don't need KEEP_VIRTUALS. Whether you prefer REMOTE_DEFAULT or not is up to you. This has nothing to do with the necessity to call "eix-remote add" after eix-sync: Otherwise your local portage tree will not get "pushed" to the remote database /var/cache/eix/remote.eix If you do not use REMOTE_DEFAULT, it is only less likely that you will notice this since you will then see the outdated local data only if you use -R ;)
