So, my question: which of the two approaches is "better"? The latter is swankier while coming up, but is the one with the Windows-type message (Upgrading system -- please do not turn off your computer, or something similar) but if there is no difference, I prefer the first.
A simple upgrade is somewhat risky because you are replacing almost every component of the currently running system. It is very possible that the terminal you are running the command in (unless you're on the console) or the desktop could crash. Then you end up with a half-upgraded system that might not function. The system-upgrade runs offline with nothing else running so it's safe that way. Also, system-upgrade sometimes has extra handling for certain situations. For example, the upgrade to F32 required resetting all the modules.
I will do regular updates live (I have run into issues with that a couple of times though), but for new releases I always use system-upgrade.
