Hi,
I think the best way to migrate from Illustrator to Inkscape is to save the artwork as SVG in Adobe Illustrator (if you still have access to Illustrator). Make sure you export to plain SVG without the Adobe extensions.
This has worked best for me. Illustrator does a horrible job on complicated files, but anything is better than trying to re-vectorize. Using GIMP to save to JPEG, even at "100%" quality is a very bad idea, as even at that level, you are getting files larger than a PNG, and still wasting time with a lossy compression.
