At least in the S&S beta, some characters really wouldn't translate well between the sets, so beware! EG the gunslinger does better in a box with guns, so taking her to RotRL would be rough, Sajan might not find an Amulet of Fiery Fists in S&S. Not to mention the balance might generally be off in one way or another. Example: if undead monsters are more or less common, Kyra will become stronger or weaker. Same deal for role cards; some roles are specific to S&S mechanics (though every S&S class has one role that should work fine in non-S&S games) Several RotRL characters will reappear in S&S with slightly modified stats, so if you just really like on particular character, there's a good chance you'll get to play as him/her again. At least for your first playthrough, I'd strongly recommend using S&S characters only. There's a lot of fun, flavorful characters and powers in there. You'll find something appealing I'm sure!
Also, just to be clear: you will NOT want to take your post-RotRL characters and drop them into the start of S&S, they'll be overpowered, since they are basically like high-level characters being dropped into a level 1 campaign.
Don't think I've revealed anything about the game that hasn't already been talked about on a blog or forum post by the devs, so hopefully no spoiler-finger-wagging inbound.
