I don't use Acronis and have never tried it. I haven't heard anything much against it either.

The recovery partition would be hidden to the average person when booting any version of windows but Ghost allows you to copy 1 hard drive to another including all partitions assuming the drive you are copying from is the same size or more than what you copy to.

With Ghost you can copy just one partition if you want and you can restore individual files.
