Most likely, the PB will be able to easily upgrade to the final release when it drops; betas (even GMs) sometimes need a fresh install to migrate from beta to final.What is the difference between the GM candidate and the latest Public Beta? If I'd like to experiment with it now, which one should I get?

Since it's a PB, it's safe to assume Apple will make it easier for what are essentially normal users to upgrade to the final version.
GMs can always update to the final. It's usually the same thing, anyway. The GM we have now is actually a "candidate," and there are still some obvious bugs, so I expect we'll see another one.
New 'final' build of Yosemite just released to developers- GM Candidate 2.0.
