What's the best advice you can give on upgrading from an old ReadyNAS model to a newer one and preserve all many TBs of data, users and addons?

Well that depends on which model you want to go from and to. We can advise you on whether that's a good idea or whether a different new model would be a better fit if you can give us some info on what you want to do with the new NAS.
Edit: Ah, I see aks already answered this. If the old unit running RAIDiator is still working then getting a new NAS with new disks and using backup jobs to copy the data across would be best. From your Ultra you'd use this: How do I back up data from a RAIDiator 4 system to a ReadyNAS OS 6 system?
