I am in the proses of migrating a troubled Drupal 6 site with the Feeds module to Drupal 7.
I'd like opinions, thoughts on whether it is better to add the fields from my old user profiles to the standard "user" content type or to create a new content type using the Profile2 module?
Where are the Pros and what are the cons?

Sadly when I run the upgrade the DB opens up a whole can of worms! So it is time to import not upgrade.

Try checking out the schema module, this has helped me to remove and repair many tables in database's that through reams of errors!

You are welcome to check out a blog I wrote on how I upgraded a Drupal 5 site to D7 here.

Hope this helps
