Personally I'd wait a week or three before upgrading unless you have a really pressing need. There are bound to be some problems which have not been caught at the alpha and beta stages.
Yes and I think that is even more relevant for a LTS-LTS upgrade. Most LTS machines I suspect are boxes that people don't touch until they are broken or are "important" machines. Therefore it is unlikely that many people outside ubuntu have tried upgrading them to the pre-releases.
The sensible thing to do, unless you like tinkering is give it at least a few weeks and then scan the ubuntu forums for people having problems. See if those problems have any relevance to you (i.e some functionality you depend on is lost, or their hardware is similar to yours) then do the upgrade informed of what (if anything) is likely to break.
Having said that, I have been running Hardy for a few weeks now and aside from some problems with audio which seem to have mostly been fixed now, everything is working quite well. However for a couple of LTS boxes I am responsible for I am waiting a bit.
