6 of one, a half dozen of the other.
If you're doing drive imaging backups of something like a system drive under Windows, I'd recommend Macrium Reflect.
If you're just doing a basic sync, I like FreeFileSync personally.
If you can, I like to buy slightly different models or try to buy from a different vendor to differentiate model numbers or at least HDD batch numbers. Just in case a firmware bug or some other unexpected flaw for that particular model or batch eats one of my drives. At least the other one (or other set) will likely survive. Just a thought.
Also don't forget to do a full surface test, which will likely take more than a day at these drive sizes. You can use something as simple as WD Data Lifeguard for this.

I have two drives sitting in my cart and am going to work at it for a while, but I don't know how much of my time $20 is worth. It would be nice if people were allowed to post codes without sending others on a wild goose chase.

I originally formatted the drive on the SATA controller for reference but prior to scanning the drive, all new files I tried writing from the dock (tested and verified), wouldn't show up at all when I switched it over to the motherboard SATA. In one instance everything sort of disappeared when I ran a quick scan while the drive was docked (and later corrected after a chkdsk run).
