One thing that can be potentially annoying is the domain name issue if you're setting it up on a temporary URL for testing purposes. Ideally, if the domain name is going to be the same on the new hosting you'd want to spoof that domain through your hosts file so that the URLs you test with are exactly the same as what they will be going live. WordPress will put absolute links in all the content areas for media files so unless you use something specifically for replacing those you'll want to be very careful making sure it all works when you switch from the test domain back to the live domain.
There's a lot of good information on this page as well:
