I did almost exactly this about a year ago. I used CrashPlan to back up & restore files
in homedirs & installed the OS & applications from scratch.

I did this on my desktop last Summer, but I took a different approach.
The existing desktop had started life in 2008 as 10.5, and had had
lots of "stuff" installed and removed over the years, including some
tools that had overly-intimate knowledge of MacOS X. Don't get me
started on all the crap AV stuff I tested.
Some items I had tested over the years had installers that were not
very good at cleaning up. It had also been incrementally upgraded
from 10.5 through 10.8
I did a complete new install of 10.8 onto the new drive, and then used
the Apple migration tool(s) to only bring over data files. I also
could have used a time machine backup.
Applications I re-installed from scratch.
This was probably a tiny bit more time consuming than the disk
duplication paths, but to be honest, I installed the SSD at about 0800
and was completely up and running with 90% of what I wanted by 1100.
I did install a few more apps over the next few days.
This completely avoids all the dd block size, TRIM, SSD black magic, etc issues.

OS X's Disk Utility can clone drives - see the "Restore" tab. Destination must
be same size or larger than the source.
I've had bad luck using Disk Utility for cloning. I stick with SuperDuper. Or
just restore a Time Machine image.
