Since you're crossing two major versions, I'd go for a clean install. You
could conceivably go straight to 8 using buildworld, but I think the safest
and simplest course of action is to take good backups and start from
scratch. As for going from 8.x to 9.x, that should be pretty easy, if, as I
said, your setup isn't too far from the default. But of course, only you can
make that call.
