I may be wrong, but I saw a few times the answer to this question and variation of the theme of it to be, wait for the snapshot and then use them. So, why don't you just wait for the snapshot to be ready and use them then.

Also it might be worth your wile to read this:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html

Specially this part:"Warning: -current is a moving target. It changes minute by minute, and may well change several times in the time it takes to retrieve the source code. While the developers work hard to ensure that the system always compiles and that there are no major bugs, it is entirely possible to get the -current source and have it fail to compile, whereas five minutes later everything will be just fine. There are also flag days and major system changes that the developers navigate with one-time tools, which mean that source-based updating is not possible. If you are not prepared to deal with this, stay away from -current."

But to help you, what's the best thing is to wait for the snapshot and use that, but again, if you are not spending the time to read the FAQ and deal with the issues that will raise from following current to be on the bleeding edge, then you might be much better to stay away from it.

No punch intended, just the reality of things at OpenBSD. No one will hold your hands running current or installing it.

I just send that answer to you as a friendly message and help to get you started or pick what really work best for you.

Good luck in what ever direction you decide to go.
