Vince, I use up2date on a regular basis to keep several systems up to date.
The features you mention, updating critical parts and apps, while
maintaining
dependencies are all available through up2date.
I'm not familiar with apt, but one feature I found nice is the web interface
to
up2date.  If the RHN daemon is running on the RH server, you can go to
rhn.redhat.com
and schedule updates, and reboots (be careful with your login info), without
doing
anything on the server.

Thanks
