I chose the upgrade option as I had done on with 10.3 and 10.2. So far every application works (bar Labels X) as normal and I have yet to see any slowdowns on a PowerBook 12" 1.5Ghz. Everything is better and faster than before. Don't know about the clean install advocates but I have never had a problem with OS X upgrade installs. Go on my son Apple

I installed Tiger on a PB and a mini using archive and install and it also was painless.

Do you have to reconfigure some personal settings when you choose that option?

No, everything was pretty painless. I repaired permissions right away but that took less than a minute. Everything else stayed the same, Mail, Safari, Keychains, iTunes, even F10.
A few things I had to reinstall, MenuMeters and the APE, APE-related updated but all else worked just fine. Had more problems with 10.3.9 with Safari crashing that going to Tiger.

I installed Tiger on my Cube (G4 450MHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD, SuperDrive, ATI Radeon 7000 64MB) yesterday morning. I also chose the upgrade option. The installer claimed a HDD problem, so I started again, this time without problems. It took around an hour to upgrade (Standard plus X11 minus printer driver, 1.6GB). After first reboot the system hung, showing the gray Apple logo and spinning "wheel". I powered the Cube off an on again and it booted normally. Spotlight needed 30 minutes to index the system and it works like a charm.
All in all it took less than 2 hours to have the system working with Tiger. Only reconfiguration I had to do were the AirPort settings.

I also had a painless Archive & Install. Had nothing to reconfigure or install, except MenuMeters as mentioned by Randman, and PowerMate drivers.
