Everytime that you go from an version to the next doing the upgrading process test everything works as expected, then you are ready for the next step. I would definitely recommend to do the upgrading process on a dev environment, if possible.
I have used Lee Kellehers upgrade path before with big success
Other links on upgrade an Umbraco installation could be:
I have done a few upgrades from v. 4.0.3 and all the way to 6.1.6.
First, I research the installed packages. Some may not be compatible, some needs updating and some may need to be replaced with others (Media picker with preview->umbraco standard mediapicker, multi-node-picker->multi-node-tree-picker). It may take a bit of data-handling to make the switch on some datatypes if they arent directly compatible.
Datatypes that aren't supported and/or arent used should be uninstalled or switched first.
Then I take the recommended upgrade path, for each step I backup the database and website.
For each step I carefully compare web.config with the new one and merge them. Also be sure to compare/merge files in the /config library-
A really good help is to have a good compare-tool. I use beyond compare, it's a really big help when merging those config files!
Be sure to read the release notes for each step, since there may be some good hints to whats new in config files and especially if some dll's need deleting.

He has the recommended upgrade paths there:
4.5.2 » 4.6.1 » 4.7.2 » 4.8.1 » 4.9.0 » 4.11.10
