I've never had any problems with using updates rather then re-installs. Any app I've come across is written smart enough to clean up the old version during an update so there should be no worries.

I just treat it like Christmas Morning every time I see that update icon flashing "!" at me.

These apps are updating very often because this is "work in progress"/"under development".

Why did you install from devel?
