choosing 7.2 or 8.0rc1

I'd like to install FreeBSD on a personal computer and am wondering which version to choose. Is there a supported way of transitioning from a release candidate to the actual release, or is this not recommended? Thanks.
 
If it's nothing vital, I'll recommend you to go with 8.
It's pretty stable now and upgrading to the release version will be easier.
 
Thanks for the info. I went with 8.0-rc1. As far as using csup goes (with the exception of ports, doc, etc.) should my tags be kept at RELENG_8 until 8.0 is officially released? At this point, should I switch to RELENG_8_0? Is this the proper way, along with rebuilding world and kernel, to move from a RC to an actual release using csup?
