We use both, although not on precisely this hardware. On our foundry load balancer and SAN, for example, we catch SNMP traps but also poll a few health counters in case the traps were missed. If you put in an snmptrapd that intelligently parses caught traps its no difficulty to catch alerts. As to *which* trap OIDs, or *which* OIDs to monitor, that's a different question.
