Cool... Thanks for the advice! Buy why would it be a good idea to change layout 
on bigger disks?

Yes. Replace all the disks in one vdev, and that vdev will become
larger. Your disk layout won't change though - You'll still have a
raidz vdev, a raidz2 vdev. It might be a good idea to revise the
layout a bit with larger disks.

If you do change the layout, then a send/receive is the easiest way to
move your data. It can be used to copy everything on the pool
(including snapshots, etc) to your new system.
