I think it's pretty safe. I haven't played on Party in year(s) and haven't bothered checking/remembering, but I thought they had lower than $3 SNGs. With a $25 deposit, I'd be playing $1 SNGs if I could. Your plans seem good, but I would much rather wait till ~$200 to go to $6 instead of $150. A general rule of thumb is 30-35 buyins for aggressively moving up.
