I always run a good directory maintenance/repair utility such as 
Diskwarrior, and then a good clean-up script like applejack before 
major upgrades. I also try to have a fully up to date image backup of 
my main drive on hand. If your basic disk structure has a couple of 
little problems, they readily turn into major things when you do a 
big upgrade.
