Question is, is there something you need in 4.4.2 and not got it in 4.3? When not I would stay on 4.3.
Some changes in KitKat are the lower RAM, better Battery (a lot better), some security things and a lot of other changes in the background :)

Who doesn't need a better battery?
I have the same question weather or not to update
but I'm hesitant because some people say their battery life got worse!
How much better is the better?

lower used RAM and better battery life are the best things....but also some new settings, like s-view an so on...

I didn't felt any better battery drain after upgrading to 4.4.2.
Unfortunately, after upgrading to Kitkat I experienced a lot of problems in the camera and screen.
Now I'm using custom rom and developer options to solve these problems.

BTW, my device is I9500.
