When you export to UNIX file, all messages are contained within a single
file. However, in msg and eml formats, *each* message is represented by
a single file. A UNIX export is therefore easier to work with.

I forgot that you can import messages from TB! message base formats as
well. I'd do the fresh install, create IMAP accounts and then import the
messages from the folders in the old account's 'Mail' directory.

I haven't tried it though the option has been recently implemented.
