Thoughts on doing a restore from an iPhone 5/5S backup (on iOS 8 GM) vs. just starting fresh with new iPhone 6?

Thinking I'll just start fresh, but wanted to see what others thought / suggested.

Many people will tell you to start fresh but I've been using backup/restore since the iPhone 1. No issues.
 
I'm going to start fresh on mine. Because I went from 4S --> S4 -->S5 --> 6+ and I don't feel like restoring back up from my 4S.
