When upgrading your firmware when a new jailbreak comes out, how many of you people? (see poll)

I always setup as new and then just reinstall my Cydia stuff.

 

[bytethese]

I always use AptBackup to backup/restore Cydia packages and restore an iTunes Backup after loading the new firmware as well. Haven't had any issues since 2.x and my iPhone 3G.

 

[PsstGreek]

I restore from a back up, then install the cydia apps manually.

I've been always been restoring my backup since my Original iPhone (I still got my first ever SMS i sent form my iphone to my (EX) girlfriend at the time.

Now for Cydia App, i do installed them manually and once by one, making sure of compatibility, updates and settings. I test drive the app for a few hours (or a few days depending of what it is) before installing the next one. I know this is a LONG process, but this may be why I havent had a issue with my personal phone and I can keep restoring my backup over and over.

I do a fresh install, set up as new, then install my apps one at a time using PkgBackup. That way I do not have to remember each of the apps I want to reinstall, but I can check for compatibility for each before installing the next.

WOW that must take a while to do! But it's a good idea to do it.

There is not rush on my case, I got several "development" iphones that I play with "new" apps and screw around with, my personal phone is always top notch and never on the bleeding edge.

 

[WhatAmI]

Setup as new and then put one by one back on using PkgBackup. (Btw the new version is sweet, a ton of new options including Dropbox support. Yay!)

Setup as new and let pkgbackup do the rest. Does kind of suck that I lose all my gamesaves and such but it also forces me to actually play all the games that I paid for on the App Store

Usually though, I'll wait a couple weeks, maybe a month, before updating/JB'ing to the latest and greatest. Basically, when all the "HELP, NEW JB MESSED UP MY PHONE" threads in the hacks section start dying down, THEN I'll update and JB.
