Upgrading Subversion

We have a larger repository (62 GB with over 125,000 revisions) that is
currently running 1.3.2. We're planning to upgrade this summer. With
1.6 on the horizon, would it be recommended to wait until a 1.6.x
release and upgrade then, or upgrade to 1.5.5 sometime before then? We
will probably only do one upgrade this year.

Also, considering the size of our repository, what is the recommended
upgrade approach?
1) svnadmin dump the full repository. upgrade the SVN binaries,
including mod_dav_svn Apache modules. svnadmin load the dump.
2) upgrade the SVN binaries, including mod_dav_svn Apache modules.
svnadmin upgrade the repo. run the svn-populate-node-origins-index program.
3) other?

For consideration, our backup scheme includes nightly svnadmin hotcopy
runs to a unique folder (2 previous ones kept), file system backup using
a traditional backup program, as well as the incremental dumps of every
commit performed using a post-commit script (kept for 30 days).

Thanks,
Brian
