Root Assistance please

Just bought my daughter a Desire S that is locked to T-Mo and once received will unlock it to all networks.

After this it my intention to unlock the bootloader with S-Off but before doing so, should I debrand it to an earlier unlocked RUU or is it not necessary as unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom rom will remove it all anyway.

Sorry if this seems a silly question, but thought i would throw it out there just in case.
