New Hardrive, Fresh OS Install Help

Im planning on swapping my current hard drive for a solid state drive. Im going to backup my whole hard drive with Super Duper and plan on doing a fresh install but cant find my discs that came with my macbook. Right now Im on snow leopard so the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant doesn’t work would I buy Lion or is there a way to get snow leopard on a USB this is where I get confused on how to start fresh on the new hard drive so any help is appreciated.

Also after getting my macbook running can I pick what I need from my SuperDuper Backup onto the new hard drive without copying everything?

Thanks

You’d have to buy a USB that is at least 8gbs. Follow this tutorial on how to create one. How to Make a Bootable OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion USB Install Drive

It’s the easiest way to do it.
