I'd keep the iMovie/Slick stuff around a while since some of those effects
are very difficult to reproduce in Final Cut without a deep knowledge base
and a lot of practice.

If you want to do something quickly, it would be easier to do it in iMovie
and then move it over to FCE.

Another piece of advice:  Since FCE is vastly more complex then iMovie it
has a steep learning curve.  However, FCE will open iMovie files
(timelines).  I found this to be a useful way to look at the difference and
"step up" to FCE.
