First, you should verify if your trans controller has been re-flashed. If it has, then you need to use LG8. If it hasn't, i would just stick with LG6.
What do your service records say?

I have the original zf lifeguard 6, but my question if is worth paying the extra to flash and then change fluid to blue or to just service transmission without updating and with original zf6 fluid?

Personally I don't think it would be worth it to you, since you'll have to remove all 9 qts of the current fluid then refill with the correct fluid. That will get expensive very quickly for you. Stick with the zf lg 6
