I've had too many problems when upgrading between releases to do it at
all.  I recommend doing a fresh install.

That said:

I have my system booting from an SSD, and I have two of them.  When a
new LTS release comes out, I swap the SSDs and do a fresh install of
the new system on the swapped-in drive.

My home (and other non-system directories) are all on different drives
from the boot drive.  I find this to be the most flexible solution,
although given that I only reinstall once every two years, it's not a
huge problem.
