I went with Arch for over a year, and 'pacman -Syu' was one of my biggest fears, as when rebooting I didn't know what package was going to get messed up. How did you work around that ?

Watch out for notices during the upgrade. Check the forums if anything warns/fails. So far I only ran into one issue over 2 years, so it's not bad. But otherwise, all the data I have is backed up, so I don't mind restoring the system from scratch if everything fails. Or to put it more bluntly: if you're afraid of upgrades, that's a good sign you should fix your backup strategy.
