Just because I'm advanced in the field of computers (generally), I'd say clean install. I don't trust any update thing. And I think most would agree, unless you don't want to deal with reinstalling stuff.

When I did a reinstall of OSX, I just simply copied the apps in my Applications folder and some of the stuff in Application Support (where some program data files are stored, such as logs and other things you might create in a program.)

Update works fine. I mean come in, its a Mac.

Guess which band I am listening to (hint, look at my MacBook)

Hmm... Maybe I should try dual-monitor... What I do is keep my MB closed and sitting in the corner of my shelf, and I have my KVM hooked up to it on my desk. So it's essentially a desktop when I'm at home and a laptop when I'm away.
