I am planning to use either one of the following to copy the data from sql 2000 DB to sql 2008 database:
1. SSIS: to copy only the new changes over to the sql 2008 DB from SQL 2000 DB.
2. Merge function of sql 2008
I have only 2 source tables in the source db. Please let me know which one will be the best way of doing this. Thanks!

Why don't you use the preferred methods instead? Backup/restore and detach/attach.

I would use backup/restore then.

I wrap all of my backup/restore code into stored procedures for ease of use.
