All of them, there's no money in releasing drivers, companies update them to fix bugs. Sometimes that also includes speed improvements. Video drivers are the only exception to this rule, where they strive to really improve them and make things fastre, better and more feature rich.

So why pass on any driver update?

I agree with Travis, all of them!

You should develop a habit of checking for updated drivers every now and then (but you don't need to do it very often).

Keeping your PC malware free, defragmented and making sure you have all the latest OS updates are other things you should do on a regular basis (which you probably knew already).

Don't forget to update the BIOS/firmware for your mainboard, DVD-drive, router, DSL-/Cable-modem or any other hardware where you can update it.
