So you shouldn't use dd on bad disks...
There is no downside to using ddrescue that I can see. If everything works ok, then you get a 0 error copy, and you got the exact same result as with dd.
If you did have errors, then ddrescue will try to do the best of the situation and try to copy as much as possible from the drive You also get a list of the errored sectors that you can use for future reference.
