1. Buy any two from different manufacturers

and mirror them. Any single drive is as prone to failure as any other single drive. Constantly spinning them up and down is more wear and tear. Mirroring content on 2 drives will save you money and data in the long run. And always replace a failed drive to rebuild the mirror ASAP, not when convenient.
