I'm assuming that you want all the data you backed up from your XS? I would think that you would select to restore from the backup. Otherwise it'll be a fresh slate. You'll be manually downloading your apps, manually getting your home screen layout like you want it.. and if you had photos or data from the previous phone that isn't in iCloud, the only way you're getting that back is by restoring.
