Upgrade to 8.04 or clean install from LiveCD?

[A-dogg]

Just curious if there was a consensus as to whether it's safer to just to a clean install from a LiveCD or if I'm safe upgrading via the update manager? I'm currently using Gutsy.

A 3rd option would just be to leave things as they are until Hardy's kinks are worked out...

Thoughts/advice?

Upgrading should be just fine. If you have restricted video drivers installed, you should remove those first, and disable any third party repositories that you are using.
However, it's a matter of preference, some people prefer to do fresh installs.
