I upgraded to 2.2 from an un-rooted 2.1.. everything is fine.. just a few FC's and bugs.. would it be beneficial to do a complete wipe/reset and start fresh?

It was worth it. I thought it was fast post update... till the factory wipe. I wish I could screen capture to show the Quadrant score of 1468. The number is really meaningless; its all about the feel of the device.
I know wipes are inconvenient, but I have to recommend to all even if you're experiencing no issues.
Is there a general guide or checklist before doing the factory reset?

This is as good a place to post this (brief) update as any.
Even though I've had no issues, I had to satisfy my curiosity and just completed a factory reset, betting that it would result in even better performance. I have four paid apps (that were easily re-loaded) and a limited number of other DL's so it wasn't a great inconvenience. All photos and LP icons were stored on my SD card, so no loss there. Ditto DolphinHD bookmarks (there is a dedicated app for this).

- Some of the icon graphics have changed inside the system that were not revealed previously
- Some of the icons have changed in the marketplace that did not show previously (e.g., Lookout).
- LP+ seems even happier
- Reload of contacts, calendar, etc. was extremely smooth thanks to gmail login.
I'm gonna say yes for several reasons.I upgraded to 2.2 from an un-rooted 2.1.. everything is fine.. just a few FC's and bugs.. would it be beneficial to do a complete wipe/reset and start fresh?
What's the difference between a Factory Reset and "flashing" (initializing/wiping) on the X??
