I have 2, 3tb drives in raid 1...been doing a lot of moving, deleting, etc. Will I gain by defrag'ing the drive(s) (recover disk space, not speed)

Yep, nothing changes because the LBA's on RAID1 should be identical on both drives. It will just be particularly slow because of the mechanical assymetry RAID1 creates.
