The EVO is solid. Can't go wrong. Price is a little high to me, in the US, but I don't know what it would cost for shipping and then you have to pay VAT or whatever on it, right? Most of the more common name brand drives come with "cloning" software. There are also a couple good free ones you can download.
The eSATA connection is different than the regular SATA drive itself. The eSATA port should carry power but you'd need an eSATA to SATA cable/adapter. Alternatively, yeah you could stick it in the USB enclosure.
You'd mentioned the bloatware, etc. Personally, what I would do is take the opportunity to do a "clean" install, not "clone". I did that in the past when I upgraded the older machines around the house to SSD.
