Help Should I update from 4.3 JB to 4.4.2 KK ?

Hello

I recently got my S4 i9505. I'm planning to root it

I have Android version 4.3

I used to flash costum roms on my s2 but I'm not really planning to do much flashing on my S4. not soon anyway

So as I connected the phone to Kies to make sure the drivers were downloaded so I can proceed with rooting

Firmware update popped up

I'm not sure what the best option for me now.

Should I root now and then I'd be able to flash a costume KK rom? and are there any stable ones that are better than the stock?

Can I use kies to update my rooted phone?

Maybe I should stick with JB 4.3? Which one is better 4.3 or 4.4.2?


I remember facing some issues when I update my s2 back. So I searched for the KK Update for the s4 and some people weren't so happy with their KK update

I know that doesn't represent the majority but still it could happen to me

So I confused myself

What is your advice to me?

sorry for the long post

Also I have an extra question What is KNOX? and do I need it?
