Unless it's a patch, you should always wipe with any ROM.
Ditch backup assistant and sync your contacts with Google. Login to your verizonwireless account, go to backup assistant, select all, export as .csv file. Log into gmail, click contacts, import, pick .csv file. Go back to your phone, menu, accounts, pick your gmail, uncheck and recheck the sync contacts tab. You'll be good to go from now on...
I had v0.5 on my phone and tried to just do an update to v0.6 without wiping and I was having a bunch of issues. It's always recommended that you wipe before installing if ANY issues arise. All my contacts are synced with Google and I use SMS Backup and Restore to save my SMS messages so I just have to install my apps.
The whole process usually takes me 20 minutes start to finish so it's not an inconvenience to me.
