Will it do well going from PPC to Intel? That's one migration, oddly, I've never done. I've always been PPC-->PPC, but when I (finally) bit the Intel bullet, I did a clean install on a new machine. Same for when I got my new Pro in January. I'd like to just get her on a Intel machine as they're within 20% of the price of a PPC, and we all know the performance jump/software compatibility they increase. I'm pretty sure software-wise we'll be fine thanks to Rosetta, but just don't want to get a "gotcha". I'm specifically looking at Al Intel iMacs with Tiger or Leopard on them. I'd use migration assistant to get her going, and then make sure she's at least on 10.5.8, eventually move her to Snow Leopard once all the software has been upgraded.
