 Weekly is better. I like to think of running an update/upgrade daily as _something you do_.
 
 Many days there are no updates. Sometimes you have two or three. On a day when Firefox updates, there are so many language packages that you could have 50.
 
 Keep an eye on <http://debian.org/security>. There you can see all of the updates that the Debian Security Team has sent through the repositories to keep your system running as securely as possible. Sometimes there are even bug fixes, though the whole point of Debian Stable (that being _stability_) means that security patches are king and software "improvements" wait for the next release.
