Getting a new MBP

[gmmiller20]

So I have upgrade my mac over the past 10 years 2 times and am looking a getting a rmbp (not sure which size yet). My question is, can I import only some of my existing data and apps from my existing mac or is it all or nothing. If it is all or nothing, is it better to start over as a new mac and the later bring over my photos etc... later?
