There's also Giving What We Can.

They also provide a useful function, but so far, for the most part they rely upon GiveWell recommendations.

That speaks to GWWC's favor, I think. It would be odd for them to not take into account research done by GiveWell.

Remember that they don't agree on everything (e.g., cash transfers). When they do agree, I take it as evidence that GWWC has looked into GiveWell's recommendation and found it to be a good analysis. I don't really view it as parroting, which your comment might unintentionally imply.
