You need to go for only 301 redirect while redirecting a site as it is the only search engine friendly redirect.

301 and 404 are good error pages when it comes to SEO Alex, so either an intelligent 404 or as you say a 301.

301 redirection is the permanent redirection whereas 302 redirection is the temporary redirection.

301 redirects are permanent. They mean that the page has moved, and they request any search engine or user agent coming to the page to update the URL in their database. This is the most common type of redirect that people should use.

A 302 redirect means, that the move is temporary.And this is a dangerous practice. Search engines don't like either of these redirection techniques because they are a common ploy for spammers to use to get more of their domains up in search engine results.

It is NOT a "dangerous" practice at all.
