There is an interesting feature in WHM/Cpanel to backup and restore accounts between different servers. I used this feature to move my hosting accounts from my old servers to the new one, most important of all is that I have the same configuration in the two servers ready to accept new active accounts.
From Cpanel you can easily create a full backup of your account to move it, and I did it for all simple accounts, the only problem I have found when migration come with some changes. For example if your old username used for reseller exist already on the new server, or is used for another domain and the migration require your old domain to be assigned to a new username. This is the only case I have found where the Cpanel move files won't work correctly. Such cases I just treat them manually, fortunately it happened only for one account.
