There is probably no clear answer, though I suspect one of the appeals of a near-future setting on (alternate) Earth is that you have a solid background that people can relate to and constrast the changes better. But then, maybe what we know about Earth stands in the way. For example, maybe your story would benefit from another habitable planet in the same solar system. A specific twist? Maybe you want to change too much on alternate Earth? The more you want to play with Earth myths, rumors and conspiracy theories, the better it is to use (alternate) Earth.</blockquote>
