There are two issues, one being to upgrade or full install, and one being if you 
upgrade to do it using the network (preinstall) or the "upgrade existing OS" 
option of an install DVD.

I generally reinstall, but having done 4-5 upgrades in the last few days, using 
install DVD media, and if you are willing to accept that the upgrade will 
probably not be as clean as an install in terms of filesystem setup or leaving a 
few configs in an old setting, then the benefit is that it will be faster to 
upgrade and you will preserve your custom settings *in most cases*.

The more revisions between the initial and current revision the higher chance of 
problems, some functional, and some just things like using old filesystem types 
or config files.

People go either way, depending on which issues they most want to avoid. Have 
good backups of critical stuff, whichever way you go.
