In some place inconspicuous see if the popcorn ceiling coating comes off easily, if so it might be time to remove it. This will also give you an idea of how hard it will be to take off. In any case expect a mess, and IMHO, I would apply the 'knockdown' or 'orangepeel' finish as this will tend to hide any marks that might occur during removal.
