It's a decission you have to make. php5 > php4 I mean, it's just a given - they wouldn't have made it php5 if it wasn't better than php4. The reason most people are afraid to switch is because all the major hosts won't switch yet. Though, the reason for that is because they have thousands and thousands of customers relying on their servers. So if some asshole on the $4.99 a month account is using some crap ass script which can't run on php5 the host would have to hear an ear full because they fucked up his site.

Now, if you're running your own server (which I would assume as you couldn't upgrade otherwise). Updating apache with w/e php version is a click of the button with almost every control panel software. So my question to you would be, is it that hard to click the button for php5 to see how it is? You can always click the button again to switch it back to php4.
