Migrating/upgrading from 7.3.3 to 8.0.5

We have a 4GB database that we are planning to migrate from 7.3.3 to 8.0.5. At the same time there are a number of database structural changes that also have to be implemented. As some of the tables contain several hundred thousand rows I am trying to work out the quickest way to do this. I can create new correctly sized 8.0.5 database for the new DB structure. To move the data from the old database to the new database, will it be quicker to use a dblink and just copy the rows (insert into... select ... or perhaps using SQL+ copy) or would I be better off creating loader input files and using the loader to do this?

Any thoughts appreciated
