"I want to keep both of them as uncluttered as possible"
It is tempting to use the Mac utility to transplant the apps and preferences from your old computer into the new one. The tool is seamless and hassle-free and has you up and running in a familiar user environment in a very short time. If programs are outdated and unsupported by the new OS, it will give you a report of those.
However, if you have the patience I recommend that you reinstall the apps, manually copy over your local data, and build it up from scratch. The utility is thorough to a fault and will port over whatever corruptions and leftover debris may have accumulated over the lifespan of the old computer. Like you, I tend to keep my computers in service for many years. I prefer to use every new setup as an opportunity to weed out that old junk, including stuff you may not even know is there. It also acts as a kind of software audit to remind you of what you have and what you use or don't use so that you can eliminate some bloat. The risk is that you may forget or overlook something, so this approach works best if you can keep the old one around and not blank it out to sell or give away.
Have fun and enjoy your new toys.
