Should I use the 'Upgrade' option in the 4.6 install? Or CVSup? Do > I really have any reason to upgrade?

In case you are running some kind of production machine you should stay to your working system - as long as you are content with it. If you wish to stay up-to-date with the latest ports and apps, you should learn how to update your sources and ports to -STABLE - works fine for me and I don't think I am a big expert.
