Yes - transferring using cPanel's copy account feature works most of the time. I would certainly recommend using it if available. The problems with it are:

1. It is possible for an admin to block sites from being transferred away. If your old host does this you will not be able to transfer using cPanel.

2. It needs root WHM access, so it is not available in reseller accounts or in normal cPanel accounts. You could ask your new web host if they will do it for you - they may oblige.

So, unless you have root access to a dedicated server or VPS, you will not have the ability to copy using cPanel. Even if you do, it could be blocked by the old host.
