I made a complete bootable backup using Carbon Copy Cloner, then selected the "Upgrade" option on the Leopard install disk. That way I kept all my applications, extensions, preference panes, etc. intact in the new system installation. After all the updates I ran monolingual to remove languages and architectures, then ran TechTool Pro to optimize files and volume structures. The process took about 2 hours, it turns out I didn't need the CCC backup at all because everything worked but there's no way I'm skipping that step- it's the best insurance.
