By "internet SUSes" do you mean Apple's SUS(es)?  How large and in how many
disparate locations is your deployment?  I ask, because a single SUS should
suffice for most deployments up to a few hundred machines, provided you run
your updates in off-hours and have a relatively fast network.  Cascading
SUSes are typically used when you have a large number of clients and/or have
clients that are in multiple locations and you don't want your SUS traffic
going over WAN links.
