Migration Assistant sets up your new Mac properly and pulls your files from the backup/TM volume or old Mac. In many cases, using Migration Assistant from the old Mac is a little faster than from Time Machine (especially over ethernet/wired connection), so it's ultimately your decision to what process you want to complete as they relatively take the same amount of time.
