It shouldn't matter which order, which type, or the number. You can go back and forth installing either type of app until you run out of space.

or until you mess up your phone :), don`t install what you won`t use, just to have alot of app`s on your phone

Yup. Most of my apps are from iTunes, only a handful are from Cydia (I mainly jailbroke so I could put my own custom themes). I've gone back and forth between downloading apps from iTunes and downloading from Cydia.

The only problem I've ever had seems to have been because of BossPrefs. For some reason, my 3G internet stopped working today. The WiFi works, but when I got out of my WiFi range, the 3G internet wouldn't work to replace it. I finally figured out it was because of BossPrefs.

Other than that, I haven't had any problems with Cydia apps. Install away!!!

But, like Cusca said, don't download apps for the sake of having them. (a) It's a waste of space on your iPhone (b) I generally believe the more apps you have the more likely it is that your iPhone will crash/reboot on you. It's nothing serious, but kind of annoying when programs quit out of nowhere when you're in the middle of using them. I have 3 & 1/4 pages of apps right now.
