I'd try both. Do a ddrescue of the failing one and try that (with copy of the others) and check what's coming out.

As an alternative to using ddrescue, you could quickly prototype various arrangements (without writing anything to the drives) using a device-mapper copy-on-write mapping - I posted some details to the list a while back when I was trying to use this to reconstruct a hw raid array... Check the list archives for details.
