Install or not install HP drivers and programs

HP is suggestiong me to install its drivers and management programs for my DL740 running Red hat AS 3.
Network adapters, internal raid controller, FC host bus adapters drivers, ... peraphs only Insight Manager is useful to me, to receive alarms on hw problems.
I hate having foreign drivers because kernel upgrading becames a nightmare.

Do you suggest same thing?
What is really mandatory and what not?

I think that it's good idea to install HP drivers. They will give you max pref. Also they add info :) Like temperature and pre falure.
