what is the easiest way to move specific files/folders from an old mac to a new one?

Have a handful of files/folders I want to migrate to a new mac from an old one. Migration assistant doesn't seem to let me pick and choose, anyone have another way?

Random thoughts:

Copy them to an external storage device (external drive, flash drive, etc).

Transfer them via DropBox.

Turn on iCloud Drive on both devices and move the files/folders to iCloud Drive in Finder (in the Finder sidebar or Finder "Go" menu).

AirDrop them.
