To answer this the main question you need to ask is whether you want to join machines you migrate to AWS to a new domain. If you want migrated machines to be part of their existing domain then you will have to go down the self managed AD route. You also need to ask if you wish to keep your existing user/group setup, these are in your existing domain and will not be migrated to AWS Managed AD in a trust setup therefore if you want to keep these you would need to migrate to a self managed instance.
From my experience in migration scenarios I see self managed and build new AWS Managed AD
There is a good quickstart here which should help with the technical steps (You'll likely want scenario 2). In a full migration scenario as well as the post steps you will need to decommission the existing domain controllers, including transferring all the FSMO roles to your new domain controllers
