I favour measuring a symmetry related reflection - it is more likely to have different systematic error. But if you after Friedel differences there is some argument for measurng hkl and -h-k-l in the same orientation.. However high redundancy if you can achieve it always seems to me to give the best overall data set - high redundancy also gives you a statistical basis for rejecting outliers.
