Hi, I've got Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed on iMac and MacBook Pro. System allows upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Please advise which is more hassle free. Many thanks

Apple's removed Mavericks from the MAS, so your only option is Mtn Lion. Costs $20 USD. Get it at http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion. You could also do the same for Lion, but that cat's a loser.

Or you could upgrade to Yosemite, which is free.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Yosemite., and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
Mountain Lion vs Mavericks
