Combined patches contain all the updates up to the point of their release. If you look at the release page for the latest openvz RHEL6 kernel, you'll see that the combined patch basically contains:
- all the Red Hat's patches up to 2.6.32-131.12.1
- openvz patchset.

And if you look at the last openvz vanilla (now obsolete) 2.6.32-feokistov kernel, you'll see that the combined patch contains:
- all vanilla patches up to 2.6.32.28
- openvz patchset.

OpenVZ team basically suggests using the RHEL openvz kernel at the moment, since other kernel branches aren't supported. You'll find more info about the reasons for this and the future plans here:

The "RHEL6 goes stable!" blog post.

I'm not that familiar with how Debian and Gentoo maintain their openvz kernels, you might want to look into that if you think their branches would be more suitable for your needs.
