You should do all.
Get your H1 transferred with your existing papers, if possible.
Get you EAD
Get another employer.

Alhough, getting H1 and an employer who will be willing to sponsor at this economy may be tough,, but definately get your EAD, you will need that to work, and you need to work to answer any future RFE....

Good luck
 
can you elaborate pl.

Q1) Should I wait for EAD and look for another company and then join on EAD

***Since I am loosing job for sure, can I join on EAD once it gets approved, how much time it takes after RFE has been responded on Nov 5th as per AVM?

Q2) Should I stamp on my passport with current employers H1 papers, my current I-94 & H1 validation is valid till Feb 2003.

***there is some 60 day limit, when sending papers to washington DC for stamping i guess, is it true?

What is the procedure to get interim EAD, what all doc. is needed, where to go to get one, i heard they stopped issuing interim EAD, ANY IDEA?
