So you're basically just picking the vendor/warranty that you like for the same price.
Having said that, I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on this. Beyond that,
1) Yes, these are used drives. You don't want anyone to actually try to refurbish these because they are welded shut to contain the helium. I'm guessing virtually zero third-party places can effectively service these.
2) Yes, it IS a lot of data to potentially lose. But if you actually care about your data, it shouldn't matter since you have backups and are potentially putting this into an array where RAID/parity means you also have fault tolerance and (hopefully) reporting.
3) Just like with any new (to you) drive, use software to run a full surface test of the drive. Something like the older WD Data Lifeguard will suffice here, but some people prefer HD Sentinel, badblocks, H2testw, or the stuff built into their array solution (like unraid preclear or Stablebit Scanner).

The main differences that I could find between the HC520 and HC550 is that the HC550 is a little faster, and the HC520 uses PMR technology versus the HC550's EAMR technology.
