Root Preparing for GB Upgrade

Newbie
I an running a rooted Droid X with the 340 OS on it. I am planning on using the maderstock file to revert to stock 340 anticipating that I will upgrade it to GB. I have a few questions about the upgrade that I would like to understand before doing the upgrade.

1. I have a number of paid apps on the phone now. If I do the upgrade will the market app know which apps are paid previously or will it lose that info? Do I need to save these before I do the upgrade or just reinstall from the market?

2. For free apps will the market app remember them or will I need to do a fresh install? Should I save these as well?

3. Is it possible to install maderstock without doing the factory reset? It seems to (sometimes) cause boot loops but I don't know if this always happens.

4. If I delete the cache and reset it, do I lose any info saved by apps such as serial numbers or is that info saved elsewhere?

Thanks in advance for the help.

as long as you have not frozen or removed anything you shouldn't have to maderstcok to get the OTA...

1. I have a number of paid apps on the phone now. If I do the upgrade will the market app know which apps are paid previously or will it lose that info? Do I need to save these before I do the upgrade or just reinstall from the market?
yup


2. For free apps will the market app remember them or will I need to do a fresh install? Should I save these as well?
its supposed to...doesn't always work completely right..you can always back them all up with titanium backup...


3. Is it possible to install maderstock without doing the factory reset? It seems to (sometimes) cause boot loops but I don't know if this always happens.
sure its possible...i wouldn't


4. If I delete the cache and reset it, do I lose any info saved by apps such as serial numbers or is that info saved elsewhere?
no you won't lost anything by wiping cache...except your cache of course :D
