I mostly sync daily and export occasionally.
Why would an export be better when moving platforms? I cannot see an export being any better then syncing the library and settings to this new platform.

The other advantage with the syncing is that if you were to say screw-up an eBook and needed to get it back, you could from the backup. An export, you cannot do that. Or you changed something in settings and cannot figure out how to fix it, you can again do better with the sync.
