Q: I hate manuals but love people who don't.

Just came home with a new unlocked iPhone 6 Plus from the Apple Store. Popped in the SIM from the "old" (Long story involving bag of rice ) 6 Plus hooked up with Sprint.

It wants to know "Set Up as New Phone" or "Restore from iCloud Backup"

As I have everything backed up to iCloud, I am assuming the latter - correct?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3, Unlocked with Sprint registered SIM

Correct. But, beware that certain things are NOT backed up when using iCloud, namely, Apps but they are still in iCloud and will need to be downloaded to the new device. See the following for more info:
About backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview

If you want an exact backup of everything, you should backup your old device in iTunes, then restore that backup to the new device.

To backup using iTunes, see the following:
