There was recently a comparison of Western Digital, Seagate, and Toshiba. Western Digitals are the best overall, with failures occurring steadily, but not many, over a five year time scale; less than 5% fail overall. Toshiba, after six months, was the best. Around the same failure rate as WD, but over that short time, and then virtually no failures.

Seagate was abysmal. 15% failed rather quickly, and after three years nearly 30%.
