not an advice, but what we went through ..

i'd suggest 2.8, but test first. and then test again. when everything is ok,
you can test again. :P

2.8 has many features compared to 2.7. with zope, testing your instance is
not that hard. install python2.3.5 and zope. get all your products. get your
data.fs start zope, fix problems. surf your site(s)

as somebody mentioned, if you make use a lot of Catalogs, you need to
manage_convertIndexes. and if you use dtml (esp dtml-in with
sort=something), you need to move the sort to your catalog queries.

i'm in the second stage of testing and will be going to the next stage (of
testing)

hth

p/s - don't forget to test your instance
