This is definitely a tough question to answer because there are different pieces you might want to migrate from one environment to another.
You could be looking to migrate:

- Configuration settings
- Content and assets
- The entire instance

- Several community extensions available that handle more comprehensive migrations
- Database dump/restore for complete data transfer
The migration extension is probably your best bet to get started, then you can layer on additional tools based on your specific needs.
