Genrally speaking, going from very old versions to 7 something is very difficult, since there has been a lot of changes and xslt has been replaced by mvc views in later versions.
I would recommend doing step-by-step upgrades between major versions along the way, making sure to merge config-files, read release-notes and remove deprecated code and datatypes along the way..
I've managed to do this from old versions (4-something) to latest 6-versions, but going from 6 to 7 is a major step, involving rewriting your xslt as views etc. Basically you will end up completely re-writing you templates and xslt-snippets.
The best option in my opinion would be to do a complete re-implementation on umbraco 7 and moving content manually or by cmsimport (if at all possible between versions). I would definetly recommend a full re-implementation.
