I believe it will be a good decision to choose reliable host with helpful customer support who will help you to move your files.
Hostwinds.com (http://www.Hostwinds.com/) are able to help you with everything you may need (scripts installation, etc.) for free
They can help you to move all content (files, scripts, mysql) from another host without downtime for free!

Basically, moving a website to another host consists of the following steps:

1. Moving the website's files.
2. Moving the website's database(s) (if it uses any).
3. Reconfiguring your application(s) to work at the new location.
4. Pointing your domain's DNS to the new host.

The most convenient way to transfer your website's files to your new web hosting account is through FTP. You can connect to your other hosting account and download the files locally. Then you should upload them to your hosting account's main folder (usually public_html, www or httpdocs).
