Which leads me to my question regarding firmware.
The four of them have two each, 2.47 and 2.52. The December unit shows 2.32.
Is there a preferred version that "works best" with our pool? Is it a good idea to update to latest version? Anything to avoid? Best practices for updating?

The widely accepted rule for S9s is "If they are not broke, don't fix them". IF, AND ONLY IF, you are having problems, you might want to try upgrading the firmware. For Auto-Freq S9s (just log in and see if the card speeds vary) the November 17 firmware is the latest. Sometimes it helps, sometimes your better off with the April firmware. You choice is more limited if you have static speed S9s (from over a year ago).
No firmware change will affect your performance on the pool, beyond possibly helping the miner perform better. Maybe.
Right, I was writing hastily and didn't think about how silly that sounded (works best on a given pool). I just meant if one firmware works better than the other and whether I should upgrade them.. Was hoping that they may have made minor hashing gains through firmware improvements since 2.23..
