Opinions on updating?

I'm thinking of updating from 4.1 so I can take advantage of some app updates (Photoforge 2) but wonder if anyone has opinions on iOS versions and how well they interact with my essential jailbreak apps.

I have my SHSH for 4.2.1, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, and 4.3.3. Here is a list of my most used jb apps:

Bitesms
Lockinfo
Winterboard (important: I LOVE my themed lockscreens)
Fakeclockup
Five icon dock
Enhanced Tabs
Barrel
Remove Background
Springflash
SBSettings
Masks

Any major issues I should know about with a setup like mine? Any advice/opinions on what to move up to for my next version of iOS?

Thanks for the help!

I had all of these under 4.3.2 and they worked perfect, and I updated to 4.3.3 today and they all still seem fine.

I would say it's time to pull the trigger. Since you don't seem to be unlocked I'd say update to 4.3.3 and then use Redsn0w to do the JB saving yourself from restoring from backup. Just remember to ssh your Themes folder to your computer before you start and then after you are JBen ssh it back to have your custom Winterboard tweaks without installing them all over again.

Ok, crew. I'm in the middle of all this and have gotten stuck in Tiny Umbrella at the "Allow Device to Reboot" stage. I've tried Exit Recovery and Fix Recovery with no luck...any advice? I'm trying to stay with my old baseband via TU...

Also, Fix Recovery only runs for less than half a second before it says it's done...

Meh, I think I'll just update to the official 4.3.3, baseband update and all...I don't have any use for it, but I also don't have to worry, being on AT&T, except for resale value...it WAS kind of a pain in the butt though, so if anyone has some good insights I'd love to hear them for the next time I do this...
