I will use the binary upgrade path. It seems easier for a non high-tech system ;-) My system is running ZFS on root now, so I would very much like to hear if the binary upgrade through freebsd-update works well for such a system (w/ zfs on root). I don't want to get stuck with a system that won't boot again because something goes wrong with zfs.
