Back up EFS before flashing 4.4.2 - it puts 2 files on the SD Card. Or use TWRP to back up EFS whilst on JB.

Its doesnt matter as long as its an official rom, just know that once go to kikat theres no way to go back to jelly bean, u should look for the steps to flash the rom, it pretty simple.

Don't update. the KitKat version has a lot of problems!
For one, the SD Card read/write problem.
Second, for me, I have a problem with device heating while gaming and doing some intense things on KitKat.

There's a downgrade bootloader available in the Note 3 Developer Discussion's KNOX thread. Go check that out. Look for the guy called RuchRa or something.

Just use the pit and then use any 4.3 firmware and it will downgrade greatly.
