In answer to your question; the path you take depends on the capacity of each drive.
If the target is smaller that the source but still capable of taking all the data then the target will have to have its data redistributed during the cloning process and you wont be able to do a sector to sector clone. I never do a sector to sector and let the software handle the redistribution and resizing of partitions. Note the free version of the software I mentioned wont allow resizing during the clone so you will end up with empty space at the end. You then need a partition resizing software to stretch the partition to the max. Note SSDs need some space for over-provisioning which you can set-up after the clone.
I usually use the defaults in AOMEI and then resize afterwards with other software. I've only cloned no more than five disks total so there may be other users with better advice.
