Here are two recent reviews of dual-mobility implants. I haven't done any studying (yet) because as of last May, my existing implants still looked "perfect" according to my ortho. Even though they are now 12 years old, he figures they are good for another 10 years or so.
I didn't read these fully, but it looks like the dual cup reduces dislocation risk.

Good luck on your surgery!
