Below are a few of my favorite plugins I invariably use almost every site transfer.

1. Akamai – By far the best spam blocking plugin out there.  You can get it for free on your personal blog, but throw them a few bucks at least for their hard work.
2. Digg Digg – A cool social plugin that is clean and easy to integrate
3. WP-DB-Backup – Backup your site automatically on a weekly schedule with this plugin. Always be ready for that asteroid
4. WPTouch – This adds a sleek/stylish mobile (iOS) looking view to your site when mobile viewers hit your site
5. Theme Test Drive – If you’ve ever wanted to test a new theme out or setup a new theme without screwing up your current users, this plugin is for you
6. WP sIFR – Use any font anywhere on your site.  The load time is a little slow, but worth it if you’re going for a certain look with your fonts
7. Permalink Finder Plugin – An excellent tool for anyone who has recently converted to blogger and may have some strange permalinks that need auto-redirecting to the new wordpress structure to find the post
8. Search Regex – Allows users to search and replace the entire database or use regular expressions to search on
9. Broken Link Checker – Monitors your site and warns the admin of any broken links that may occur
10. Levels2Categories – Great for multi-user setup by site admin to allow only users with a defined level to be able to post on a chosen category
