Is there a good upgrade for OS x Yosemite? or am I better off just keeping it for now?

if you're Hackintoshing, ElCap is great. If you have real HW, go with Sierra.
PS: I've been playing with Pascal drivers and a 1080. It's fucking great! No bugs so far that I could see.
thanks, is sierra that much better than yosemite?

Sierra is pretty good rn. It's also required if you have a Pascal GPU.
Go with Sierra, start fresh, and look into doing a Vanilla install instead of TonyMacFag.
El Capitan is a huge improvement in performance, although I already forgot specific other improvements. Sierra adds some little cool things like native folders on top and remapping caps lock, as well as some other stuff I probably forgot.
I didn't have any more difficulty with Sierra than El Capitan on Hackintosh, and Sierra isn't any worse on my MBP than El Capitan was.

whats the vanilla install?

You download it from Apple and make the bootable vanilla installer yourself with the command line.
Use the 'createinstallmedia' command in Terminal.

The instructions for Mavericks to Sierra are located there.

It's the preferred method.
You basically put kexts on the EFI partition and you can update the OS without any issues.
This patches kexts on the fly on load after Clover boots into macOS.
Tools like Multibeast modify system files which means when you update macOS (even between major releases) system files are reloaded and you lose audio, etc.
I've done El Capitan > Sierra directly without an issue and also .1 updates without issues.

While El Capitan may seem faster, it's not.
Apple has been doing yearly updates and the days of Snow Leopard/Leopard (ie 1 bad release 1 good release) are gone.
10.13 is going to have a new file system, so.....usually macOS releases .0 are kind of buggy, but they get super stable by .4/.5

Misunderstood. That won't work for Hackintosh.
Use these instructions:

You don't have to manually make a bootable key.
Just use Unibeast from TonyMacFag....BUT Don't use Multibeast (the post install drivers package)...just install Clover by hand and find the correct kexts and configure your config,plist file.
