my 2p: Don't go wireless, but use cable (assuming both machines have ethernet). If you need to copy large amounts of data (gigs), you run the risk of the connection dropping (briefly). This will abort the entire copy process. Since you'll have no way of knowing what was and was not copied, so you have to start again. Wired is quicker, and it doesn't drop the connection.
