Re: [LUG] Upgrading Debian

apt vs apititude is only a matter of personal preference but yes, you
do need 'update' before either 'upgrade' or 'dist-upgrade'. upgrade is
for day-to-day usage (e.g. via cron-apt) and it will prompt you about
adding new packages as dependencies of packages being upgraded.
dist-upgrade will proceed with installing the new dependencies without
prompting.

Nope... aptitude has superior dependency resolution and is the official recommendation when using an APT frontend.
