I'd expect some objective data on the former. Did you actually do both fresh installation and upgrade and compared those? > Could you share your opinion based on personal experience?

I ran that for years, reinstalled when I moved from x86 to x86_64 architecture. This especially on my main desktop where hardware changes as I upgrade it. I have a bunch of other computers with fixed hardware but same deal, Debian updates just work.
