I've got some old games on floppy which were stored in a loft for several years. I want to test that each disk is fully working. Is installing them with WHDLoad a good way to do this? Will WHDLoad highlight errors on the disks if they exist, or will it just rip the disk anyway?

For me yes, it is. I use WHDLoad to test my game disks. If the disk has read/write errors or checksum errors you will see a requester. I never had a problem after when I installed a game 100% with WHDLoad. This applies for original disks, I didn't test it with copies or backup ones.
