Does anyone know the only different file(s) between Magento 1.9.2.4 and 1.9.3.0? I'd prefer to replace the updated files only when upgrading Magento rather than executing the patch file. That way I know exactly what changes are made and can be recorded. Observing the patch file is very confusing.

Magento 1.9.2.4. updates the following files from 1.9.2.3:
- app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Helper/Sales.php
- app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Config.php
- app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Item.php
- lib/Varien/File/Uploader.php
Without knowing the exact files you mean by "custom files", if any of these files are overridden in the app/code/core or lib/ directory which is considered bad practice, you can copy these to app/code/local before upgrading.
e.g. "app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Helper/Sales.php" would be copied to "app/code/local/Mage/Adminhtml/Helper/Sales.php".
See app/Mage.php and lib/Varien/Autoload.php files for how autoloading works in Magento.
You can also upgrade using shell providing you have shell access and you know how to use shell. I would also test this locally before applying on a live site.
You can download and apply the patch 7405 from www.magento.com/download for 1.9.2.3 to 1.9.2.4 by moving the patch file into your Magento root directory and then from the command line
- cd path/to/magento_root
- sh patch_file_name.sh
Then delete the the patch file name.
You can find the full list of differences in the official release notes: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/m1x/ce19-ee114/ce1.9_release-notes.html#ce19-1930

Side note
There used to be a bug in Magento where the passwords would not display in the new account email template. Most of the people (including me) assumed it was a security enhancement (see here: https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/46793/2380) but it was actually a bug which has been fixed in 1.9.3.0.

Best Answer
The patch and 1.9.3.0 are two different things.
During the last Magento patches, we had the habbit that the new version of Magento was the same as the old version with the patch applied, this is not the case here: 1.9.3.0 != 1.9.2.4 + SUPEE-8788
Here's a diff between 1.9.3.0 and Magento 1.9.2.4 + SUPEE-8788 : https://gist.github.com/digitalpianism/14a15cd52baede0e5d600e8c653f33e9
