I shoot digital, should I use film as backup camera body? What type of 35mm film would I use?

I shoot using Canon equipment. My primary body is a 5D. I also have a 350D (rebel XT). I was considering the XT my backup body, but now my wife is being my second shooter. I have come across a really good deal for an older Canon EOS 1 film body with accessories. The 6 frames per second sounds fun, other than that I would likely only use it as a backup body. What do you think, should I bother?
I do several types of photography, but for the purposes of this question it is for wedding photography.
Also, if people with 35mm film experience are reading, where is a good online supplier of film, and what type would you recommend for wedding photos? I shoot formals with three flashes (one on-board and two with umbrellas), so I don’t need high ISO for those, but of course candids of reception are often poorly lit. Because of this, I would appreciate a low-ISO and a high-ISO opinion of film. Thanks so much!
