we use the following strategy.

When we buy new hardware, we first try the version the older hardware
is using. If all works, we stick with this version. If there is a
problem, we switch to the most current release. TO make life easier, we
switch all other machines to this version then.

While upgrading FreeBSD, we stick to a branch as long it is supported.
When support stops, we switch to the most current release.

This would mean in your case to stick with 9.x as long as 9 has support
and then switch to 11.x or what else will be the most current release
when support for 9 is stopped.

I never saw any other reason to switch branches. It causes to much
interruptions.
