Migrate with SuperDuper or Migration Assistant?

You don't want to use either.

When you first turn on your new Mac have the older one connected to your network or make a backup of it with Time Machine and have that TM backup external drive connected to your new Mac and use the Setup assistant system to copy over Apps, Settings and Personal files. All new Mac's come with special builds of OS X created specifically for the new hardware in the system. OS X on your older Mac does not contain those newer special drives for the new hardware. Trying to restore the new Mac from the old could and probably will render the new Mac Un-Bootable.

Restore was not the correct word to use here.

Start you new MacBookPro , Set up Assistant will ask you if you have an old Mac you want to import all your user files 3rd party apps etc. You can choose in either the bootclone or the TimeMachine to import everything automatically.

This is usually the most trouble free method of transferring your entire home folder and putting everthing exactly in place just like you are used to- is this initial SetUp Assistant on initial boot.

here is a reference it is still applicable to Mavericks:

Pretty straight forward.
