Help needed re ISA's

Hi,
I'm looking to tranfer three ISA's plus opening a new one this week. I was planning on opening one with Barclays then I thought maybe the Post Office one would be better. Currently my ISA's are with M&S(two lots), Abbey and NS&I all on a low rate because I haven't moved them for a few years. Is it worth moving them all to either Barclays or Post Office and will I have to leave them there until September 2009 to get the extra bonus rates they're offering? Post Office said it could take a month to set up and they don't back date lost interest but Barclays said they would after 14 days...I think. Or is it less hassle to transfer all to my current Abbey ISA and move to the higher rate account at 6%.
Any advice on this would be appreciated because I'm going round in circles!!
Thanks
