ITunes Backup?

We have used ITunes for years to backup our IPhones/IPads. We do this mostly because we sync calendars and contacts at the same time.

I'm wondering about also using ICloud to backup our iPhones/IPads. Can we backup at both places? Any reason not to do so?

If we start using ICloud for Backup, can we reset ITunes so that it only syncs calendars and does NOT backup, thereby leaving us only with the ICloud backup.?

I recommend backing up to both. Gives you options if one of the backups doesn't want to restore when you try. There aren't any options for what is included. See Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support for details of what is included. In general if the data exists in the cloud it won't be included in the backup.
