in 8.04 there is another option. if you ask the installer to install onto a partion that already has an install on it, then it deletes the system folders, but leaves the home folders intact (as long as you dont select to format that partiton). I have used this on 2 machines and it works fine.
Ubuntu can do upgrades fine. however if you have made lots of tweaks, and installed lots of things outside the package manager, then you may get problems. the update manager tool, makes various check to help everything go smoothly.
