Hello MUTigerFan,
Thanks for visiting us on the forums with your question, I highly recommend using the Quick Start method. It is really straight forward, however I would be sure to have made a backup of the Ipad first.
You should definitely make sure the new iPad is fully charged before transferring your data, having Bluetooth turned on will not matter when transferring data between your devices, however they both should be connected to the same wireless network.
