SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner seem to be the two most frequently recommended cloning programs on the forum though there are several others. Both programs have trials that will complete a basic clone and both have some more advanced features that come with the paid version. One difference is that SuperDuper does not clone the Receovery partition of your boot drive and Carbon Copy Cloner will copy thhe Recovery partition.
Some people do not see a huge need to copy the recovery parttition since in the event of a problem you could boot from the clone. I prefer to have the ability to clone the recovery partition so I use Carbon Copy Cloner. Both programs have free versions so it mmight be worth downloading both to look at the interface and see which interface you prefer.
