Personally, I recommend clean installs. backup your user stuff, config files, etc, then wipe and rebuild the system scratch, referring to the previous configs and stuff for reference. YMMV.

Just for testing I did one inplace upgrade 4.4 to 5.0 on a webserver-type machine last year via yum (I think) and it worked just fine.
