Current wisdom on transferring files/data/programs to new computer?

Got a very good deal on a new Lenovo X250 to replace my X220. Fortunately, it's still Windows 7 Professional (same as on the X250 -- no interest in upgrading to 10 at this point for several important reasons).

I always dread the process of moving stuff from old to new computer, and usually budget a week to get absolutely everything done.

In the past, I've basically reinstalled all my main programs (MS Office, Word Perfect, Pegasus Mail for Windows, Time and Chaos) and use a restore from Mozy Online Backup to fetch the data files from those and other programs (MyDocuments, MyPictures, etc.).

Is there a better way?

Came across this article and have no idea how good any of these options are:

Thank you!
