That said, I always prefer to backup data and let me take care of setting up
the system. The backup may have occurred on one type of filesystem, parition
layout, OS, and I want to restore to another, for example.

Everything specializes in something. Create your priorities, make your
choices. if getting a new system back up and running ASAP is your priority,
restoring from backup is your biggest problem. Deployment is.
If you like what Clonezilla does, make sure it does everything you want. For
example, do you want, and does it do, incrementals, differentials, can it be
used to restore the 400GB file which was just deleted.
Can it gives you a list of files in the backup, and their checksums, and
timestamps so you can decide which one to restore?
This is just a small list of things to consider.
