Hi,
Yes, use a a third-party tool. It is the fastest and easiest way for you to migrate mailboxes between two tenants. If you are changing domain at the same time these tools can help you rewriting addresses in your mail objects. Some tools also help you to create the new users in the new tenant and assign licenses.
You could export mails to PST and import them but will take you a while and will be more complex so the time you have to put on it will be more expensive than the license cost for the third party tool.

Would recommend BitTitan for this one
Have done several tenant to tenant migrations with this, it covers Exchange and OneDrive. Would also recommend ShareGate for the SharePoint work. If you are using Office this can simply be disconnected and reconnected if you are moving over to the same SKU in the destination tenant.
Just to note (or a caveat), that tenant to tenant migrations are more complex if you are already using multiple workloads. If you just have Exchange and Office, for example, it is reasonably straightforward. If you have, for example, Flow then you will have to completely rebuild them as there is no migration tool. It may also involve the manual move of data if you are using Stream because again, there is no migration tool.
Hope that adds to the conversation.
