My opinion is that a clean install is always preferable to an upgrade when all other things are equal. Your biggest issue really is migrating users from Access to whatever you decide to use. I don't see much benefit to migrate 6 and then upgrade but others may disagree. I believe I would install clean and then migrate one domain just to see how it works.
