Upgrading to WinXP SP2 - Which way is best?

[Guest]

We are currently at WinXP SP1 / Win2003 Server SP1 domain with Active
Directory. I need to update to WSUS and WinXP SP2.

Should I move to WSUS before or after upgrading to WinXP SP2? Are there
pro's con's to deploying WinXP SP2 via SUS vs WSUS?

I also use Group Policy. Any pro's or con's to deploying WinXP SP 2 with
group policy vs. SUS or WSUS?

Many thanks for sharing your experience with me.
