I think that the issue Roy talks about is only important when your site is
very recent. Then changing IP addresses often might be considered fishy,
especially if a site moves from country to country :-)
But IMO, if your domain name is associated for some time with non-fishy
activities, I think this issue doesn't play any role or an extremely minor
one.
I am interested in the outcome, since I am somewhat in the same club :-)

My best guess (mind the guess) is that you will hardly notice any effect
other then the log of your new server showing for 24 hrs less visitors
then you expected. A customer recently moved a hand full of sites to a
different server, and I can't recall he had any drops in traffic, nor
changes in SERPs. OTOH, since all his sites got major updates in order to
get more visitors it might have been that the positive boost just filled
up the negative holes :-)
