Can I rely on software such as 'Driver Max" or "RadarSync" to update my drivers correctly?

Carls post above is good advice, video drivers, especially if your into online gaming, will be the one driver you'll need to keep up to date.
Other than that, if your not having problems, don't update a driver just because there is a newer one available ;)

In reality, the ONLY driver that you should CONSIDER updating would be video card drivers, and only because certain games create problems with "older" drivers.

A few weeks ago I asked a question about running a command line prompt about "driver query" and getting over 200 drivers listed for my XP Pro. My question was, "How do you know when to update all those drivers?" I ran a scan through:
http://www.driverguide.com/
and it gave me about 30 "needed" driver updates. I ran just the first one on some unknown piece of hardware and I had major startup problems. Luckily I made a system restore point and rolled everything back. Moral of the story: as Leo said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
