Ideally, you will want to rollover to a self directed IRA without fees for set up, management, or transfer. While many people assume they can roll to an IRA and then to a Roth IRA, this does depend on your AGI whether or not it is allowed.

At your age, it is unlikely your earnings are high enough to prevent you from converting from an IRA to a Roth IRA, but this is something to consider and one can't assume you are eligible.

In 2010, regardless of AGI, anyone will be able to convert from an IRA to a Roth IRA...naturally this is being timed with the start of baby boomers retiring and the government would like to start collecting all of those taxes that have been deferred for years.

As already suggested, I'd roll it into a regular IRA with a reputable investment firm. Then, if I could afford the immediate tax bite, I'd switch it to a ROTH IRA. At your age, a ROTH IRA would provide significantly better results by the time you retire. With a ROTH IRA, you pay taxes on the current balance and then never pay taxes again (all the earnings and gains on your account accumulate tax-free). With a regular IRA, you don't pay taxes now, but you will ultimately owe taxes on everything you ultimately withdraw when you retire (including all the earnings and gains on the account).

I recall something that indicated that you might be able to move some of it into a Roth IRA, but I don't think you can move an unlimited amount.

You can't roll a regular 401(k) directly into a Roth - one is pretax money and the other is after-tax money. Start by rolling it into a conventional IRA.

You have to roll it over into a Rollover IRA first. Then you can transfer it to a Roth IRA. You can set up a plan to convert so much at a time, which will be tax efficient, because you have to pay taxes on contributions.

You may also want to look into a high yield savings account for safety.

It depends... Do you want to pay taxes on the money now or later? Do you plan on being in a lower tax bracket when you retire or draw the funds out?
Traditional IRA contributions usually qualify for a deduction and are tax deferred until you withdraw the funds.

Roth IRA are nondeductible contributions. You pay taxes on the money you put in but if you wait until you are 59 1/2 to withdraw the earnings are tax free. That could pay off if you are in a higher tax bracket when you retire or w/d funds.
You can also use funds from a Roth IRA to use as a first time home buyer and not pay taxes when you withdraw.

Considering the Dem's are going to take it either way, it doesn't really matter.
