Everybody has preferences that are important to them. Verify only verifies the file bit integrity of the image, not the integrity of the final restore. If you have a drive going bad it may not verify. Given the verify takes about the same time as an image I prefer to carry it out manually and occasionally. I'd prefer to spend the extra time putting an image on a second drive.
I'm still not sold on the integrity of differentials - great maybe when everything is going fine.
