My understanding is that PRLs aren't the same for everybody. I was under the impression that different PRLs went to different regions of the country and different devices, so you can't just blindly compare one with another.

Hmm, it changed regularly on my Droid. Thought you were supposed to run the update every few months or so, keep your phone current with where the towers are.

"Current" is in the eyes of the beholder. What VZW calls "Current" may actually remove towers. See kxs783kms's post for a great example. As for as if you're supposed to, well, I wouldn't say that. I would say that if you're having reception issues, it's worth trying. But it's not necessarily something you need nor even necessarily should do.
