We did this same thing 1 year ago with about the same size database. I pre-created all the tablespaces ahead of time on the new database then just did a full database datapump export from our 10.2.0.4 database then imported it into the new at that time 11.1.0.7 database. Took a few hours but it worked well.
I voted against Windows but was over ruled. But I do have to say that we have not any issues with our database running on Windows, actually we had more issues with AIX.

Subject: Convert database from AIX to Windows
Hi all:
There is a proposal to consolidate all hardware platform and we are looking at converting the database from IBM/AIX to Windows. What would be the best method to do this? Datapump or Transportable tablespace? The database is about 120G with2 large tablespaces each about 50-60G. Any gotchas with this conversion?
Thanks,
Manjula
