Duo's awesome with SA165.
Just ask Dark_Mousy over here...
From my experience and formal testing, SA165 has a strange niche against opposite-spin attack types that makes it harder to "push-KO" than BD145, causing it to perform slightly better against heavy attackers. It'll get pushed to the edge, but then it'll do a funky little swerving thingy and roll back on in, as opposed to BD145 which glides over the tornado ridge. Check
here for more about that.
However, you're very unlikely to go up against an opposite-spin attacker with Duo most of the time, so SA165 would probably hurt it more than help it. :\
EDIT: On the subject of SWD, I did a ton of informal testing with it a couple months back and I was very unimpressed... It's balance wasn't the greatest, and WD out-spun just about every time, both in mirror matches and opposite-spin matches. But, if you guys need some testing I might be able to help out a bit.
