Is Co-Management just a more granular either-or choice?

Let me preface this by saying that I haven't yet seen the Ignite demo of Co-Management, so this may have been addressed there.  If so, I apologize for not being more prepared.   Once we enable co-m...

You will be able to choose workloads to move from SCCM to Intune for management.  When you first enable CoMgmt, SCCM will manage all workloads.  Then you can use a wizard in SCCM to move workloads to Intune - for example: Software Update -> WuFB, resource access profiles, conditional access.

So it will not be possible to have a computer have updates managed in the cloud, but also get additional updates published through system center? If I move that workload over, do I lose the ability to push third party software updates to clients using SCUP and SCCM?

Is moving a workload an all or nothing thing, or can management of a workload be configured per client or collection?

    You are right that third party updates are not part of Windows Update for Business (at least not at the moment, it is a common ask and we are looking into it). In a co-management environment you can continue to use SCCM to manage those. In a cloud only environment Intune can help manage these updates with the Intune Management Extension through PowerShell scripts.

      Ok, so even if we move management of windows updates to intune/wufb, clients will still get updates that are pushed out from SCCM as well if they aren't in wufb?

        You have the option to move a set of pilot device to be fully Intune managed and those that you don't move are still managed by SCCM.  But, once you have moved a client workload for software updates to Intune, that will be fully managed by Intune and WUfB.  The previous response applies - SCUP only applies to those device managed by SCCM.
