The -u part can save time but I did run into trouble with that once.  I 
never did figure out why but rm -rfv everything and then doing a cp -av 
fixed it.  Maybe it was a fluke but who knows.  Also, if he is copying 
to a freshly partitioned drive, there shouldn't be anything there to 
update anyway so it will still copy everything.

Your mileage may vary tho.
