I prefer to clean install and install stuff as needed, especially if you might be migrating 8 years of junk.
Especially if this is your first foray into Snow Leopard from an older OS, you can play around without fear and see how things work and how you'll want to organize things. If you mess it up, you can just wipe and install again.
So I'd just put your mission critical apps on for now and ethernet copy your key files over.
Congrats on the jump. I held out for a long time too, but the performance jump to intel & sata is just amazing. When one can easily find a used intel imac for under $400, it really makes me wonder why anyone wants to stay with PowerPC.
