For applications I would definitely adopt some sort of rolling
release, but for core stuff (kernel, desktop manager, core libs) I
think a timed release is probably better, as it would help keep the
system more stable.
I don't think keeping a broken app for 6 months, just because that's
the version available in debian at the time of release, is a very good
policy, specially if a fixed version is already available.

Paulo
