F9 ---> F11 server update with preupgrade?

Hello List!

I am running Fedora 9 on a remote dedicated server leased from a service
provider. Access is through SSH. It is a LAMP server with moodle (an
educational cms) as the only application. I want to upgrade to Fedora
11, and I need some advice as to which method to choose. Should I

- use preupgrade-cli for a direct upgrade F9 to F11?
- use preupgrade-cli for upgrading to F10 first, and then to F11?
- avoid upgrading with preupgrade-cli at all, and do a fresh F11 install
instead?

I prefer one of the first two methods over the latter one, but I
remember reading many complaints about preupgrade.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Peter
