I don't think it is a solid path to upgrade three times hoping that all the upgrades work out without trouble. Furthermore IIRC, Ray only has a limited bandwith for internet access, so that would probably mean a very long time for downloads. And most of the downloads would be used only once for the next upgrade ...

Yeah, that makes much more sense to me - for two reasons. 1. it saves a lot of time for downloads and upgrades and 2. with the intall media you could first check if the version works with the hardware. 

Furthermore, if it isn't really urgent, I would even suggest to wait until April next year and then install 26.04 LTS.
