Upgrade, once you have gone to 3.5.0 then most other upgrades are painless as there are very few code modifications required as most stuff is now done via plugins.

I upgraded at the 3.5.0 beta 3 stage and haven't looked back.

Features wise, you have the AJAX quick reply and quick edit, inline moderation, and the plugin system. There's probably a load more stuff that I can't just think of right now. (Let me off on that though, it's 12:30AM here and I've had a bad day!)

On my 3.0.x I had practically every hack you can install, installed. If I tell you that my installed hacks pages on here were 4.5 pages long it sorta gives you an indication. Now on my 3.5.0 I've got approx 30-40 hacks installed. I've upgraded through the beta's and RC's with no issues whatsoever and only had to edit about 3 files per upgrade.

Seriously, in the long run it's worth it, plus you get the new funky features to play with.
