I'm moving from 9ix32 bit world over to 11gx64bit world and I'm modifying some 
storage and object structures.  

Yea, schemas are smallish (whole DB is only about 80g).

My worry with a full import would be that it may import 9i data dictionary data 
that would be deleted during a proper upgrade. You'd probably have to run the 
upgrade scripts after a full import to ensure that that doesn't happen, but 
where's the guarantee that you end up with a clean upgraded 11g dictionary 
after that?

If you plan to import the 9i data dictionary into your 11g database, why 
wouldn't you just copy the database (or restore a backup) and upgrade it? Seems 
cleaner to me..

I'd go with the schema import, and create synonyms, directories, vpds etc. as 
required if the schemas are smallish.

Cheers,
Tony
