What’s a better workflow for database migration?

I use this for search and replace on databases – https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

Simply move files with FTP, export and import database and then run the script searching for old URL and replacing with the new URL. Then I resave permalinks and I’m done. I’ve moved WP thousands of times using this.

I’ve got the old script which is just a single file, I’m not so keen on the new version, it’s a bit slower and more idiot proof which I actually don’t like.
