Lately, I've updated to NOD32 4, and it's kinda bloated I think. So, should I switch to Avira Free 9 or stick with NOD32?

Uninstall Nod32 completely and then install Avira.
Compare the 2 and then decide which one suits your system best.

I agree with Hazelnut - I am a recent convert from AVG to Avira, and I love it!
Much faster than AVG and takes up less resource. The only negatives for me were:
1) the annoying daily 'nag' screen, this only took a bit of surfing the web to find a workaround.
2) the fact that, every time a suspicious file was found, it would stop scanning until you actioned it. This has now been fixed on version 9.

I heard NOD was top notch. But if it's a matter of $ or bloat I'd say go with the free versions of Avast or Avira. Both are excellent.
