i think for time machine you would have to install the time machine backup which may take longer. If you already have CCC, I would use that. Then you would still have the exact copy of your original drive and it should line up the sectors properly with a clone. From what I've heard, cloning onto an SSD is a better option. But I have done the time machine recovery before on my MBP after getting an SSD and it went just fine. I found that I like the CCC method better. I did it recently also on the MBP when a file copying to the drive was corrupt and caused the drive to fail completely. Luckily I cloned it a couple days prior just to test an external drive speed and it worked great. So it's really up to you to try out and familiarize yourself with either process. You could even try both if you are bored and have time. Just keep that original drive/data handy and wipe the SSD after the first attempt and try the other
I find that time machine is better suited for particular file recovery or reverting states and cloning is better for drive migration.
