Well I would say stay on 9.10 unless you have any special reason (new 
hardware etc) to want to upgrade. There is some eyecandy and so on that 
differs but as functionality goes I have fond memories of 9.10

Having said that I am happier with 10.10 than I was with 10.04
Had to upgrade kernel to a "mainline" version though due to a kernelbug 
that among other things prevented hibernation
