Put 9.4 on the new server. Replicate the db to it. When you're ready to switch, shut down the master, promote the new db, and then shut it down and pg_upgrade -k it to 9.6.
That does require the binaries from both versions to be on the new server for a while, but it'll give you the least downtime and it's a very simple replication setup.
This is the plan we're going to follow to migrate from 9.2 to
9.6, as this is the only way to achieve almost zero downtime. The
cons are, despite what Alan has mentioned, that you need double
space because you have to create a slave replica.
