Entry level or what?
5 Years experience.
Its pretty solid compared to my current salary (+18% and signing bonus), but I don't want to leave anything on the table. Benefits are comparable to my current company. The only downside that I see so far is that I am about to earn a 3rd week of vacation and I would be going back to two.

I was literally in the same exact position as you recently. I have the same amount of experience as you and was offered an 18% raise and signing bonus.
I tried negotiating directly with the owner of the firm for a higher salary and he said that what he offered was the best that he could do. The position was highly competitive and they could have easily chosen another person with more experience than me so I accepted it.
If the whole compensation package looks good to you and it is with a reputable company, its a no brainer man... you should take it.

Ask new company for 3 weeks
I doubt they balk at that request

May I ask which?
I recently jumped from one to the other. Some are more willing to negotiate than others. There's likely some play in the numbers, but it's based on a formula with only minor adjustments. It depends on which grade/class/level they offer vs your experience.
Vacation is probably nonnegotiable, but you can certainly get credit for service and not lose the 3rd week (assuming new has same vacation schedule).
