Fresh install is much more ideal as it reduces the chance of anything going wrong and eliminates the chance if a corrupt windows file when transferring, but cloning is also fine.

I'm planning on getting a 960 evo as I've had my SX900 for over 3 years at this point and I'm afraid it is going to die in the near future. I was wondering if there are any issues with cloning my current install to the new drive or if I should do a fresh install.

Do a clean install or you will probably have issues and have to clean install anyway to fix it.
