I would jump straight to 9 too. Since the code was written in 5 it probably would be a quicker process to go to 9 and a smoother transition too. Setting up data sources and custom tags shouldn't be a problem.
If you go through all the levels then it would be more labour intensive with no visible benefits. Run the code through the code checker. It will help heaps and make sure your testing thorough. I have migrated apps before if you (as I am sure most of us have) if you want some help.
