The current OS X version is 10.8 (Lion). Mountain Lion is due out next month. If you are going to upgrade you might as well wait. It should be good for updating from Snow Leopard as well (if I remember what they said at the keynote correctly), and it's only going to be $19.99. Providing your computer is upgradeable, I'd say it is worth it. You might wait one month after the initial release, if you're feeling a bit cautions. They usually find and fix major bugs (if any) within that time frame.
I like Aperture a lot. If you are dissatisfied with the organizing and enhancement features of iPhoto, it's a huge improvement. However, like all powerful tools it takes longer to master. You'll probably want to find some online tutorials and play along with them (there are a bunch). OS X Mountain Lion is supposed to unify the iPhoto and Aperture photo libraries. Another reason to wait just a bit.
You don't delete photos from within iPhoto. Go back to the Photos app to do that. I know, it is a bit weird. I'm hoping they will combine them into one app, or make iPhoto %100 standalone sometime in the near future.
