The biggest pro in keeping your prior UUID that I can think of is, if you have backed up your inventory and/or regions via IAR and OAR files respectively, is the assurance that the things that you've created will maintain their proper permissions relative to the UUID that created them. Else when you restore your inventory and regions it is highly likely that you will end up with the wrong permissions on your own items if you didn't think to full perm ahead of time (And even that isn't a guarantee given the finicky-ness of the permissions system in OpenSim) because OpenSim will see your new UUID as technically a completely different person and as such applies the "Next Owner" perms to your items.

I can't really think of a major con for keeping your prior UUID aside from possibly cache issues between grids where you've chosen to keep the old one in cases of running multiple grid instances with different databases but same UUID. Which is pretty easily remedied by clearing your viewer cache before switching grids.

  Fresh installation, my master uuid is new again. And I am wondering, which
are the pros and cons in using again the prior uuid after one had to start
over?.

My pros would be that I wouldn't lose my HG contacts. And eventually that
items I have built and shared in the HG, can be tracked to me. That other
grids would recognize my avatar (not sure about this one) maybe they just
care about my DynDns. For example when I purchase in the Kitely Marketplace.

Anyone has experiences in taking over the same uuid from prior
installation? Please share with me. Thanks in advanced.
