I have lots of classes and architecture around screens and things like that where putting everything into GameComponents just wouldn't work well for me.

I'm curious, why don't you use XNA's GameComponent as the superclass of your updatable classes?

This also allows to check in components are loaded and unloaded. If anyone wants to see a good example of it is action I would recommend XEngine, and if you need more than that check out XNA Quickstart, and BetaCell Engine, all 3D and all have a good way of handling this.
