Well I’m backing up to both iCloud and iTunes so we will see, need store associate to activate it for me and two years ago I was able to use iCloud to restore my late husband’s 5 after they activated it.

Make sure all your purchases including apps. music, etc. are saved to your computer. The problem with using an iCloud backup is that, at least when the iPhone 5 came out, if you did not download from the cloud before setting up the device, you could not do it; you got one chance only. So if the store associate sets up stuff on the phone, you cannot get the backed up cloud version. So I would say it’s best to back up with iTunes and then immediately restore the new device with the backup from iTunes.

When purchasing a new phone I assume that all the contents of your phone can be retrieve by either of these methods. My question is, is one of them more reliable than the other? Also, when setting up your new device, will all the content stored in the I cloud be automatically downloaded to your device? Thank you in advance for your help.
