Jon,
Thank you very much for your detailed reply. So, on a newly upgraded site, does it make sense then to NOT install DSEFU to begin with (other than copying the code in the .htaccess file as you have described) and just install CDSEO from the start?

The one thing that that confuses me by your reply is that you say to uninstall DSEFU in step 1 then say this "DSEFU then tries to access the default urls which CDSEO 301 redirects automatically." Do you really mean that Apache tries to access the default URLs via the code that was copied from the DSEFU .htaccess file since DSEFU has been technically uninstalled? I'm not trying to nitpick, I just want to be clear about how to go about this and make sure I understand.

Then how do I verify that the installation has been done correctly? I'd like to tackle myself then have some way for me or you guys confirm it was done correctly.

Thanks!
