I am thinking about upgrading my hd, but I want to keep everything and I mean everything on the OSX side of it. So how would I go about ghosting my OSX side of my HD and transferring it to a new HD and making it all work? I do have a external enclosure I can use, but should I be putting the new hd in the enclosure, ghost the current hd, and then install the new HD?
 
Perfect, so all I would do is, hook up the new drive to the external enclosure and use one of those softwares. Then install the new hd and its all good? So which is more accurate and better?
 
Don't know which is better. I did it the other way: Put the new drive in the MBP then the old one in the external FW800 enclosure and CCC'd the OS and all data from there to the internal drive. Worked perfectly. You just have to switch the boot drive.

It seems to be regardless which way you choose. It works in any direction :)
