Depends upon what you use it for.

Workstation - want very up to date software? Use Fedora (FC-3 about to
be released). Upgrade from 8.0 is indeed possible

Server - I wouldn't use Fedora for this purpose, I would use RHEL or one
of the clones. RHEL costs money, the clones are free. Clones are things
like whitebox <www.whiteboxlinux.org> taolinux <http://taolinux.org/> or
many others - google it -

If you upgrade 8.0 to an RHEL product - you must append 'upgradeany' to
the boot command so that it upgrades the existing installation.
