Too Root or not to Root.

[VANGUARD_HD2]

Just got a brand new Nexus S i9020a and I love it but I was wondering if I should wait for ICS and then root the device or just root it now! the device is running gingerbread 2.3.6. Will I have a problem rooting it after the ICS update? BTW i have seen so many methods online to root this device I am not sure of the one to go with.

The update only pushed to Canadians. It appears that a few US att phones got it and that's it. A Samsung rep told me that att halted the push out, but didn't know why.

I got the update as soon as I took it out of the box and powered it up!
