Rename or Migrate AD 2003 to 2012

Hello,

My private domain name is currently company.com and public DNS has been annoying so we want to rename the domain to company.local.  Currently running 2003 AD and forest.  We don't have Exchange (thankfully aren't limited there), only Terminal servers, SQL 2008 cluster, File and Print.  We have new servers for a 2012 infrastructure everything will be migrated with the exception of the SQL cluster.  My question is would it be better to...

A) Upgrade from 2003 to 2012 then rename the domain.

B) Use ADMT and migrate from 2003 to 2012.

Option B seems like a lot more work, there are about 100 workstation.  I don't know how to best go about the process... migrate just users and workstations first then wait until I setup the new member servers in new 2012 domain?

Thanks in advance!
