Anyone ever use this? With a "Sparse" backup?

You can either do a clone to external with Superduper, or restore from Time Machine backup. I've done it both ways and had success.

Time Machine worked well.
What didn't work well:
I installed a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500 GB 7200RPM drive. While installing OSX, the computer got really hot. Smelled like burning. The installer gave me an error, so I opened the computer up and found the hard drive ribbon cable burned.So now I'm waiting for a new cable to be overnight shipped to me.
I returned the drive, the store tested and said it was "fine" but they gave me a new one, anyway.
Should I try installing the new one? Or just re-install my original? I can't decide!
