I have a new, low serial number (not-patched) switch on 4.1.0. I was considering what to do with respect to homebrew and backing up by current NAND. Is there any reason to keep a copy of the previous NAND or any reason to no just update to the newest version including burning the fuse? Looking on the forums it seems that I can always jig in to RCM and use fusee to put a CFW on it. Is there any reason to keep an outdated firmware on the switch?

Always keep a backup of your nand. If you ever want to downgrade to low firmware, you should keep it.
 
If you update the firmware and burn fuses, is there any reason to keep on original nand copy?

No, but you should only burn fuses if you never ever wanna go back. Keep the backup until the update is finished and if everything works fine create a new backup of the new firmware an store it. (I mean you could keep the old backup but if you would restore it, you can only boot with custom payload)

Yea that seems to coincide with my understanding of how it works. Am I correct in thinking that all homebrew options now work with 7.0.1?
 
I am on 3.0.0 but update to 6.2.0 with ChoiNX so I can downgrade to lower FW anytime I want to. A cold boot in the future is confirmed to work up to 4.1 and can be made to work on 6.0.1 somewhat. I would recommended update to 7.0.1 with ChoiNX to be safe if you want to.

Again, its your Switch and you can do whatever you want.. Update officially harmless. For me, I wouldn't recommended that if you are SO into hacking and if you don't care then go ahead. Dont crying back to us if you wish to downgrade. :)
Warmboot is possible on 4.x+. Untethered coldboot is only theoretically possible on <=3.0.1
