Hi SMP,
If you're changing the disk layout and everything gets wiped (like changing from partitions to volumes) you'd need to add back all of your customizations. If you're creating a new slot (either on volumes or partitions) you'd also need to install all of your customizations. An upgrade or hotfix shouldn't wipe out custom files you've added.
During an upgrade or hotfix of an existing slot, only files that you've customized (as opposed to added) should potentially be modified. And if you're modifying default files you should be able to use the method described in Deb's post to have them preserved. See Ian Smith's comment for details:

Also, you can only install hotfixes on inactive slots.
