I am not sure if I should = use datastax's DSC or official Debian packages from Cassandra. How do I = choose between them for a production server ?
They are = technically the same. 
The DSC update will come out a little = after the Apache release, and I _think_ they release for every Apache = release.

 1. =  when I upgrade to a newer version, would that retain my previous = configurations so that I don't need to configure everything again = ? 
Yes if you select that when doing the = package install. 

2.  would that smoothly = replace the previous installation by itself = ?

Yes

3.  what's the way = (kindly, if you can tell the command) to upgrade = ?


4. when should I prefer = datastax's dsc to that ? (I need to install for production = env.)
= Above

Hope that = helps.

Use the = deb packages. To upgrade, install the new package. Only upgrade a single = major version. and be sure to consult NEWS.txt for any upgrade = caveats.

Also be aware of this sub-optimal = behavior of the debian packages :
