If you can, you replace one disk at a time with --replace. That will copy the drive in-place with *no* reduction in redundancy. Doing a fail/remove removes one level of redundancy. Okay, you need spare ports to do a --replace so it's not always possible, but it's always desirable. And with enough spare ports, you can replace more than one drive at once, again with NO loss of redundancy.
