Firewire 800 using migration assistant when you first boot up the MacBook Pro is best. The startup assistant will ask you if you want to transfer your files, just choose yes and follow the steps.

I keep all my music and pics on another drive so that when I upgrade it is not an issue. Use <option> key when starting itunes or iphoto to choose the library.

firewire 800 and migration assistant is the best option, but in case you dont have a firewire 800 cable and dont feel like buying one for a single use, you can also use ethernet cable from one machine to another and migration assistant.
