Migration from Windows share to NetApp CIFS Share

I'm looking for a way to migrate my Windows share to a NetApp CIFS share and bring over all the NTFS permissions. I've done some looking around and it seems that RoboCopy is the go to for most but don't know if there is a better utility out there somewhere. Maybe in the PowerShell toolkit.
