I wanted to know what people do to test drives before installing them in a RAID. I saw badblocks. Would write-mode, prior to installing the filesystem be sufficient in your minds?

In mine surely will. On modern drives with all those SMARTs even simply zeroing it would be enough to see whether drive's healthy or not.
