In the next few weeks I will need to move around 250GB of data from a early 2009 24" imac to a mid 2009 13" Macbook Pro

I really only want to copy data files such as Itunes, Iphoto Documents etc. Both machines are running snow leopard. I intend to setup re-install SL on the MBP and update it to 10.6.3 and install any other updates such as itunes etc.

I then want to use migration assistant to move the user data across. Is there anything I need to be aware of before i start this?

I need the transfer to be as quick as possible. I have CAT6 and a firewire cable which do you think would be faster? and roughly how long do you estimate it would take to transfer 250GB of data?
