Since there is a good backport available and maintained there is
really no advantage to pulling in the testing version. The backport
one would be safer in the sense of being less likely to have your
system get into a confusing state of mismatched packages, in the case
of inadvertantly pulling in more than you expected from Testing.

I agree. The only advantage as of today is sarge-backports is at 3.1.3 and
test/unstable is at 3.1.4. Hopefully that will not be the case for long, and
when sarge-backports gets a little more up to date, upgrading from this
point is trivial.
