You need to answer this for yourself, first. What makes you think it's the better way to go? Keep in mind that current thinking in agile project planning is to be skeptical of engineering-driven changes such as this, because the cost of implementation is frequently underestimated while the benefit is overestimated. Usually it's necessary to have some obvious pain before the conversion is justified. So, for example, if the builds are only run nightly and finish up in time, then the argument that NAnt is faster (perfectly true, and a good reason for switching in many cases) doesn't have any value. Or, to put it another way, there's more value in going from inadequate to adequate than in going from adequate to faster than adequate. Just to complicate matters, MSBuild is on its way. So to make a decision at this point means comparing the cost/benefit of using NAnt now versus the cost/benefit of waiting a bit and then using MSBuild.
