[TriLUG] transitional advice

I just got a new PC and I'm wondering what is the best/optimal way to
move my home directory (which includes my PGP keys in .gnupg) to the new
box (and new home directory).  The path info should be the same:
/home/userid on both systems

I'm going to try and do this over the network so I'm thinking:

a) giant tar.gz file, scp'd to the new host
b) rsync the two directories?
c) cpio?

What are your suggestions?  If all my . (hidden) files are copied over,
could that negatively impact the new host?

Thanks!
Jeff
