Personally, I'm always happier with a new install and migration, but  
i suppose it's a matter of choice.  Considering this was a surplus  
machine and system condition is mostly unknown, I'd definitely  
install first then migrate, but that's me.


Migration at the end of the install grabs whole users.  After the OS  
install is done, there's Applications/Utilities/Migration Assistant  
that will grab selected stuff and all the associated support bits  
needed.
