You could use Time Machine, that is if you use Time Machine.

will time machine copy the UEFI/EFI/windown portion of the drive? if so that will would be nice. less monkey around.
i think i need to enable trim for the ssd as well?

No it will only copy the partition you specify, so your Mac HD.
I've never used CCC, so I cannot share my experiences.
But when I migrated using Time Machine and Migration Assistant, I just used a Linux live USB with GParted to format my hard drive and then just copied my current EFI folder into the EFI partition.

yeah, i need dual boot. so carbon copy will clone your drive. i think that's the easiest route for me.

Most probably, I have heard people have good success with it.
