Is there any issues I need to be aware of in using APT-GET on RedHat/Fedora
based systems- basically is it okay to rely on as main update /install
mechanism for other applications? I would prefer to use APT-GET rather than
YUM (although good) or Up2Date.

I am not asking for a political or your favorite answer, but for your
technical recommendation - basically that there are no issues in relying
with just apt-get.

Thanks for your feedback.
