Question
I want to create a RAID 1 or RAID 5 to backup data for my system, does it matter what hard disk drives I used?

Answer
Yes, it does. Enterprise edition HDDs suited for RAID are especially designed for high availability environments, 24/7 while desktop edition HDDs are not. Please check with hard drive manufacturer and review below article for further details.
