Hi,
You can do any of those things. RH9 can be upgraded to Fedoraor you could 
install fedora. For a personal system you may want to go to fedora so you can 
be on the cutting (bleeding?) edge. If you are comfortable doing your own 
patches or if your system does not run any network services, you could just 
carry on with your current install.

The are primary motivation to go to RHEL  is if you need professional level 
support for a critical system and/or you need stable reliable patches. As a 
casual user you probably don't need all that.
