The FTP or HTTP bandwidth is probably going to bottleneck unless you have a really fast upload. The 1TB will probably be marginally faster because of its higher density, but it probably won't be noticeable. Summary: probably doesn't matter.

What's the specs of each drive? Put the one that has a faster RPM / bigger cache as primary and use the other for backups.
If they're the same specs wise then don't matter. If you're concerned on I/O then buy another 250 or 1TB and use RAID 1 or better yet buy the velicraptors or SCSI / SAS drives.
How important is the data? I see two options, use the 250 a primary and create .tar.lzma's of the entire drive however frequent you like to the 1tb, or use the 1tb as primary and backup the important data as a .tar.lzma to the 250.
Are you using linux? I can give you a basic idea of how to do the backups.

Code:
ddrescue if=/dev/sdx | lzma -9 > disk.img.lzma

Unless you have a 50MB or faster Inet connection, either or, no difference.
