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%.

I would definitely go WD. But I'm also biased because A: I like their products and B: I've done some work involving their hard drive disks and have a greater knowledge of their products than others. Edit: Responded to the wrong comment. Oh well.
