Your priorities are your own. Here are mine:

- FreeFileSync is open source (SyncBack is not - in fact I gave it up
when, for a period, the freeware version disappeared off the radar. )
- FreeFileSync (v3.3) has a portable version - I see no such versions
for Syncback.
- FreeFileSync has a far better user interface for me (with source and
destination files displayed in 'split screen' mode)
- How do you make sure you do not accumulate long-deleted files in the
source from accumulating in the destination source?
(The only option coming close to this in SyncBack leaves destination
files as they are, when no source files exist.)
- I do not do scheduled backups - so I do not miss this feature. But I
see how others may like this

My two pennies worth...

I accomplish this all the time with the "delete files from destination"
option.
