If an app has 10k+ downloads, I consider it safe enough, and will download it. Nothing under that(except for SL, obviously).
Google is not able to check all apps at once, so the put up a warning system ( like I said earlier) so they can let you know exactly what the app is doing and they have the report system for you to report all apps that are shady. I am not trying to argue. I am just trying to prove a point that google is not careless of what goes on the market.



Btw.. Good suggestion on how you download your apps.
