In my experience 9.04 is a step backward in stability from 8.04. My work desktop was up for 121 days before I upgraded. Within a week I have had an X lockup that required a reboot. In my case I suspect the new open source ATI driver, previously I had used fglrx. The main reason to upgrade is hardware support. Many wireless and sound chipsets work a lot better in 9.04. I upgraded for the "native" Exchange support in Evolution which is a complete joke - it crashed as soon as I entered my Exchange username/password and hit "Authenticate" :-) There is no reason to upgrade unless you have a specific problem with earlier releases which is definitely fixed in 9.04.
