Root Busybox questions

Mnemonic

Newbie
Just a few questions regarding busybox.

I rooted using the one click root for EE14, so busybox/SU were installed for me.

I've recently updated my SU though the android market, though I was curious if I should update my busybox?

When using titanium backup I notice its not using my system installed (v1.17.4) busybox but their version (v 1.18.4) and i've seen some busybox installers on the market with v 1.19.x out already.

Is there a benefit to updating? I have seen a few apps require 1.17.x due to compiler being broken in 1.18.x (IE VM heap tool warning about it on the market page, and have read almost nothing on v 1.19.x)

If there is a benefit how would one update it? Could I merely copy over my existing version with a market app, or would I have to manually pull it and then use an installer? Or would I have to manually pull and manually install by side loading/terminal?

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated! :D
 
You wouldn't have to manually pull Busybox in order to update. A Busybox installer from the market will update it with 1 click from the app. Whether you update or not is prettymuch a personal choice considering that some older apps need an older Busybox to function.
