I backup my iPhone X tonight via iTunes to PC, and will get iPhone xs max tomorrow.
I have question, should I use Restore backup or Restore iPhone in iTunes to the new iPhone, any idea guys?

Restore back up is picking up where u left off on old device to your new device. You restore your saved data to the new phone.

Restore iPhone is basically resetting all configuration you have on iPhone and restore it back to like new out of the box settings.

Thank you for the response! Which one is better? also my iPhone is very buggy should I set it up as new
 
Personally I download the latest IPSW to my Mac, put iPhone in DFU mode, then do an option/restore and point it at the IPSW.
