If I install leopard on top of my Tiger install, will I loose all my data and what not?

Archive + Install = Renames old system files, copies new ones across, puts all the settings back? (Im not sure about this one - might be a completely clear system), but leaves your files, emails, apps alone. Some might require reactivation tho.

Just do an upgrade install, after a backup first of course just in case anything should go wrong.

Archive and install all the way. Upgrading has led to some blue screen problems and from what I have seen the archive and install increases system performance.

Upgrading breaks if you have ever installing APE (Application Enhancer)

Archive and Install - F T W !

Upgrade; Keeps files and folders but deletes previous OS data.

Archive and Install; Keeps all data (including OS) in a seperate folder on the Hard Drive.

Erase and Install; Deletes everything, so back up.

Erase and Install all the way tbh, depends how old your current install is though.
