I think I got SURBL working since I see a lot of mails triggered as spam
with comments like URIBL_WS_SURBL

What I did is do a cpan SA3 install and on /root/.cpan/SA3.0/rules, copy all
the .cf files to my site rules dir, since it seems that SURBL is enabled and
net tests is enabled too... I guess by copying the default rules to my site
rules dir enabled the scores and everything else, here is a copy of the
rules I have in place:

I only have the default rules in place, no other rules from rules_du_jour or
anything... Looks ok to you guys? Should I also put some rules_du_jour in
there?

CPU load is very low and nice :) and seems to be catching a lot of spam...

SURBLs are included in the default rules for SA 3.  If you've done a full,
default install, then the rules and scores are probably already installed.
Hopefully a CPAN install does that.  If you see rules like URIBL_OB_SURBL
being triggered then SURBLs are working.

Some of the SARE rules are useful for these.  To be honest, I don't have
recommendations about which ones to use.  But with SURBLs some are no longer
needed.  I'll let the SARE folks explain further, or you may want to search
the list archives about this.
