Welcome to the community, Olivier! I don't think I know all the available import extensions, but those that we used required some eZ expertise and at least understanding of how object attributes of certain datatypes behave. It may be especially difficult to move formatted docs into XMLBlock, especially if you do not have a consistent HTML structure. Also, you should think of content structure. If your existing site has a complex structure that does not follow a proper tree model, then you will have some thinking and development to do. And I haven't seen any automated import for structures, either. Above all, eZ Publish does not exactly work in page-like way, so before you start thinking of your import, if you do not have much eZ experience, I would recommend studying its content engine. It might be that your site should implement several classes of objects in order to benefit from eZ features.

For files, I would use WebDAV for example, you will be able to upload those quickly, no relations thought, as far as I know: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/features/webdav
Good luck, Piotrek
