it will fall apart less if you do it while the soil is damp. dry is annoying for me since it crumbles away

Only time I transplanted wet, I fucked up 3/6 seedlings. When it's dry, you can just pop it out like a cake. Also, dry soil is already separated from the container sides, so half the work is done

you should be able to pop it out anyway, while its damp just keeps the root ball together.
i like to do it one day after watering. that way i can transplant, the root ball doesnt fall apart, and i can still water the new pot right away without over water because was just watered the night before

Well if you are transplanting at appropriate times, you shouldn't have problems with soil coming loose or the root ball falling apart.
I transplant pretty dry, and then water thoroughly once in the new soil, with a good dose of Karma.
