Why is it important to get off the factory fw? Just curious.
Yes, update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.9.6.1 is perhaps optimum in the sense that you can reinstall the factory 5.9.6.1 if your system ever gets corrupted.

The factory firmware is not a superset of the customer firmware and lacks some components. I do not have direct experience with this, but I have read many posts where it turns out someone was trying to do something with factory firmware and the fix was to install customer use firmware.
