Macbook Pro reinstall OSx on new SSD without losing daya

Hi,
I am working on a Mabook Pro. I am installing a new SSD. The client wants me to backup all his data, install the SSD and OSx and trsfer his backed data on to
the new SSD.
My question is what is the most efficient way to
1) Backup his data unto an external HDD and then move it back unto to the newly installed SSD?
2) Install the new OSx unto the installed SSD?
Thanks for your help

Thanks people. Serialbands's Migration assistant seems the way to go but I did learn some other things.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
