install 9.04 THEN update, then upgrade to 4.3.0? or ..... (could use some help)

[binskipy2u]

should I install 9.04 then do a system update, then add the ppa repos for 4.3?
or
install 9.04, update system, install all my fav apps, then the ppa repos then distr-upgrade?
or
install 9.04, add the ppa repos, install 4.3, reboot, addd all my apps i like, and then tweak what i have been tweaking with 'buntu?
or anyone have another path? to get the most stability? etc?
seen a "perfect" desktop kubuntu 9.04 in sourceforge, should I do that "before" or after upgrading to 4.3?
this is all kinda confusing... as what path to take

thanks

Any of those options will work fine.
However, considering that a lot of packages get replaced during the upgrade to 4.3 I would suggest that you perform this straight after your clean install of the base, and go from there.
There is no point updating packages that will only be replaced during the upgrade to 4.3.

Sorry, I don't know anything about a "perfect desktop", but if I were doing a new install, I would:

1. Install 9.04.

2. Update the system with:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

3. Reboot, then make a backup of the entire system.

4. Install the ppas, update, and dist-upgrade.

5. Then install your applications.

I did the third option (along with some heavy duty cleaning in ~/.kde, ~/.local, ~/.config from 8.10) and the whole process worked out fine.
