Thanks! The only items I want to transfer to my new iPhone from my iPhone 4S are pictures, music, and iMessages, everything else would be from my current Android phone. In that case would it make more sense to move all my Android data to the new iPhone, then log into iCloud to get my photos, and iTunes to get my music? I assume I would lose my iMessages in the process, correct?

You have the right idea. First, set up the new phone from the Android.
Then, on the 4S go to Settings[your name]/iCloud and turn on switches for anything you want to sync to the new phone, which can include Messages. You would have to sync music from iTunes on your computer unless all of your music was purchased from iTunes. In that case you can just download it from the iTunes store.
You can do one or the other, but not both.
