paru always shows you the diff of the PKGBUILD on upgrade, so no need to worry about adding it to an alias that does both.

In fact, just running paru is the same as running

pacman -Syu
paru -Sau

At the end I review the PKGBUILDs and make sure everything looks reasonable. Usually it's just new source hashes, but not every time.
