You moved them within Lr? You should not have lost your edits. If you moved the folders out of Lr and redirected Lr to them you should have not lost your edits. If you reimported them, but didn't save the metadata to the file then you lost the edits.

With Lr the best bet is to move the folders within Lr.

It is now. I haven't lost any photos while moving them within Lr for a long time. It was a fairly unstable program early on, but is very good now.
