Is there a reason why you would use the Unix file export rather than MSG
files or EML?  I don't know the difference (except that different mail
clients only import/export one or two formats).

Are there advantages/disadvantages to any of the three formats?

One last thing: could I do a new v2 install, create POP accounts, copy
local folders over into the mail directory of the new install, THEN
convert two of the accounts to IMAP?

Maybe a better question is: Is POP -> IMAP easily done with v2?  I know
that it's a very different message base and format.

You know what?

I'm making this WAY more complicated than I need it to be.  The two
accounts I want to have as IMAP, I don't really need a lot of message
archives.  The accounts I use for lists (where I would want to move the
messages over), I have set as POP anyway.
