You can do that in the both ways, they will work well, but the latter is more preferable because requires less changes and DNS and other settings. Before creating a new account with a dedicated Ip address make sure you have free ip addresses.

How do you select the dedicated IP address when creating an account as i cannot see the option in WHM? I have 10 ip addresses available to me with 5 websites currently on the server.
Please check 'Reserved Ip Adresses' under 'Ip Addresses' menu in WHM. To make an IP address available for the new account it should be unchecked there.
