I was on beta2 build of vista. But i was wondering now i've downloaded a later build, whether it would be recommended to install on another partition and just over my beta2.

I just didn't want to lose my settings i'd done for vista.

unless the upgrade to an newer build of vista fails you won't lose your settings, i upgraded from beta 2 to 5456, the upgrade proccess is much better with vista, it will laydown vista next to your current OS so it isn't truly an upgrade, more of a side by side install, then while both OSs are there your setting on your old OS are migrated to the new OS. just remeber that it is beta, i have done several upgrades of vista and it has failed once or twice.
