patching s10 with zones and zfs

I'm in doubt. I have a whole lot of patches to comply to sol10 U7 but I
want to do this *SAFE*

Do I create snapshots to fall back to (if the upgrade fails)?
-OR- do I create a new BE? But how do I patch that one? Boot into it
and patch? Or patch from the running BE, luactivate it and boot into
the new patched environment. "zfs list" gives:
