best umm ... go with the one with the ports, features, and style that fits you. my personal opinion and experience they all suck. The larger the HD the greater the risk of disc failure and the cost for data recovery is insane.
if you buy and external drive for regular use and not as a backup... then i'd purchase two, and use one as a mirror backup. I'd stay away from Western Digital, they only give a 1-2yr warranty for a reason. Seagate will give a 5yr or more depending on brand. I believe there barracude (sp) drive gives a 5+ yr warranty since its more of a server/raid HD and its built better.
