Yes.

They'll both work fine. It won't matter which one you use until you add
hoary lines to your sources.list, at which point 'dist-upgrade' will be
the most useful, because it will do the right thing with adding or
replacing packages when required.

'dist-upgrade' is kind of misnamed in a way, but then, 'smart upgrade'
is not really any better. ;-)
