Upgrading 7.1

Upgrading 7.1

Can anyone tell me the best/correct way to upgrade a Redhat 7.1 system?

First off, the system uses up2date so has all the latest ( 7.1 ) updates.
Which version should it be upgraded to 7.3, 8.0, or 9.0?
Should it be incrementally upgraded? For example 7.1->7.2->7.3 ?

I realise I could boot from one of the newer distrib's and go through
the upgrade rather than fresh install routine, but I'll then need to go
through the whole up2date routine again, is this correct?
