Every brand has failures. (For me Seagate sucked and I'll never buy one again.) Every brand goes through bad times (my favorite, WD had some major problems when the 120 gig drives first came out).
Any of those brand (and IBM) are fine. (Choke, I said Seagate is fine, gag, retch, heave...)

Best for value/and low noise - I'd say would be Hitachi/IBM...

Performance wise would be WD's raptor
