The knockout redraw causes NO advantage to top the group except for prestige only. For any team that already won twice and secured its place in QF, the 3rd match is a great occasion to experiment with certain line-up [as being done by India with the pairing of Saina/Sindhu].

That' not right. If you top the groups you do not meet each other in qf. If you read the rule, the top of each group is placed in the draw 1st seed being who had the highest ranking point total on the Thursday just passed. Same with second etc. The 2nd places in each group are drawn out the hat only.
 
WTF! Saina-Sindhu played doubles!! From the score it seems like they almost snatched the win! Why the hell did I miss that! I could have sacrificed everything to watch them play :)
 
thanks for correcting craigandy, so topping the group poses clear advantage for avoiding the behemoths from other groups
