I just bought a new MacBook Pro, my Mid-2009 died last Saturday. I was to go ahead and reuse my old HD from my Mid-2009 MacBook Pro. What's the best option to back-up the data so I can reuse it old my new MacBook Pro.

Remove the HD and put it in a USB enclosure.
 
Take out the disk of the old machine and plug it into a desktop, usb enclosure or sata to usb cable, transfer over the data.
