I'm going to wait about a week to 10 days after Stretch's release
as Stable before installing while checking this list for any problems.
If all proves well, then clean, dual-boot install. No dist-upgrade
since I'm running Wheezy. I prefer clean installs anyway. Less
"gotchas!" And I'll keep Wheezy as a fallback system in case something
goes south with Stretch since I will be replacing systemd as init and
supervisor with runit. Plus, as with my original Wheezy install, I'll
start with a terminal-only system and build up to X and a window
manager only (Openbox) set up. I like my systems lean and mean with as
little cruft as possible. Full GUI environments are a waste of CPU
cycles as far as I'm concerned, I don't care how "cool" they look.
Good luck with your install.
