I see more WD's go bad than the others but so long as it's the 3yr warranty version and you have backups...

Seagate has a similar HD to the Raptor out now called the Cheetah.
Anyhoo, I would go with Western Digital or Seagate (no preference really). Maxtor I've heard some bad things about (but some good), and I don't trust any other brands.
