I would choose x-raid2 myself. Though it is worth noting that two Raid-1 volumes will survive some 2 disk failures and might make it easier to recover from failures with third-party tools. So it does have some advantages (though I would personally rather have the increased capacity of x-raid2).
I agree that you need to back up your data to a separate device. So backing up the first volume to the second volume is not a great idea.
