most people mirror altdb, etc..
I think the real question becomes, do your providers require
you to register your prefixes? In that case, I would recommend sticking
with your provider registry. They can query it realtime. They usually
only mirror the other registries once a day. This can mean some
significant lag if you are planning on making an announcement change.
Aside from that, it's good practice and being a good
net.citizen to register them. It helps provide accurate routing
and contact data should someone need to contact you about a problem.
