svn checkout "head" or "stable"

My goal is to simply have a production server that's fully patched,
but I will be running custom kernels (which is why I'm not using
freebsd-update). I've seen a lot of subversion references to checking
out the "head" branch and the "stable" branch.
I understand the "head" branch is the most current, so that's the same
as the "current" branch, right?
If I understand correctly, "most" people will not follow the "current"
branch for production servers.
My goal is to have all of the files I need to rebuild my kernel and my
system after security updates have been released, therefore I should
do something like:
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 /usr/src
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/ports/stable/9 /usr/ports
svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/doc/stable/9 /usr/doc
This will give me everything I need to recompile and have a fully
patched system, right?
I do not make changes to the src, ports, or doc directories. From that
point forward, as new security patches are released, I can simply:
svn up /usr/src
svn up /usr/ports
svn up /usr/doc
and once again rebuild my kernel and system.
Does this sound correct?
