Ryan,
With the acrobat products, you may always run into the chance of needing to use the cleaner tool. I personally hate their upgrades and uninstalls, they seem to have issues across the board in several of their products.
That being said, one additional resouce you might use in knowing how to do installs\uinstalls is www.itninja.com we use it to see what others have often done with specific deployments of applications, especially silent automations and injection of enterprise licensing.
mrspike is also on the right track however. You really should look at the adobe customization wizard and also I would suggest slipstreaming the latest patches into your deployment do to it all at once. Thats really the adobe supported method.
Slipstreaming isnt required, and it does make your package bigger, but you do get the lattest updates up front. The other option if you do have Patch manager, is to let it handle updating each patch in chunks. We do this after our initial deployments as opposed to repackaging the entire with each release.
