You'll want the audio group, with your user as a member.
The low latency kernel is optional, but will yield better
performance for cpu-intensive music-making.
If you don't notice performance issues, follow your normal
workflow regarding such changes/upgrades. And the old adage,
'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', should be on page 1 of
the manual.

Your cpufreq settings are also a factor, If they are not
set to scale on demand, or to run at maximum speed,
you won't get your monies worth, when the system is under
heavy load.
