Since 8.10 is not recommended and 9.04 probably will be, you should go
from 8.04 to 9.04. The trouble is, as far as I know, nobody knows if
an upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 will work, at least I don't think it's
officially supported (anybody else, please enlighten me on this
point).

If you happen to have a separate home partition, the easiest way to go
about, in my opinion, is to do a clean install of 9.04 and use your
old home partition. If all else fails, you can always do a complete
backup of your home, do a clean install, and then restore your home
partition.
