I'm not sure if we can guarantee that they will be identical, only very

That's bad. In this case, I vote for keeping prettyref for old documents and
use refstyle only for new ones (as default).
Anything seems better to me than allowing the use of both prettyref and
refstyle. We'd have to support both in 2.0, and I don't see any nice way
to do that.
I've looked into this, and there are two major differences, both of
which are fixable, I think.
The first is that prettyref always uses capitals, so you always get
"Section 5", rather than "section 5". (This has always annoyed me.) By
contrast, refstyle provides both the \secref and \Secref commands, which
give you lowercase or uppercase as you wish. LyX should really support
this anyway, so I could add that to the cross-reference dialog as an
option and then we can translate
\prettyref{sec:whatever}
as
\Secref{sec:whatever}
in lyx2lyx.
The other issue is that prettyref gives us these:
\newrefformat{tab}{Table \ref{#1} on page \pageref{#1}}
\newrefformat{fig}{Figure \ref{#1} on page \pageref{#1}}
This can also be handled in lyx2lyx by translating:
\prettyref{tab:what}
as:
\Tabref{tab:what} on page \pageref{tab:what}
i.e., inserting some extra text and an extra cross-reference.
The other issue, as I said, is with theorems and lemmas, which can be
handled in layout.
