By default, there is no duplication. sa-update will update only the

rules. However, there have been additional channels created for
sa-update
to allow it to update the SARE rules as well. You just add the ones you
want to your sa-update channels file.
One advantage RDJ seems to have is that it won't leave you in the
situation of a non functional SA because your updated rules don't lint.
Advantage over sa-update? Other than the issue with 3.1.6 (only), there
shouldn't be any issues with how sa-update lints rules. I think the
only way you'll end up without a working ruleset is if problems with the
file system containing your local state directory start occurring half
way through the update process. At that point, a working SA ruleset
probably won't be your main concern.
If using sa-update for SARE rules, are these stored in the same location
as the originals or are they downloaded to the /var/lib/spamassassin tree?
What originals? SARE rules you saved somewhere (probably
/etc/mail/spamassassin)? If yes, you'll want to remove those before
switching to getting SARE rules via sa-update.
All rules obtained via sa-update will be stored under your local state
directory which is often /var/lib/spamassassin.
If so is there a migration guide somewhere on moving from RDJ to sa-update?
- remove existing SARE rules from wherever you've got them
- decide on which provider of the SARE channel(s) you're going to use
- follow that providers directions
See this wiki page for about the same info:

Here's my how to on it:
