Best External HD w/ 800 firewire connection

[Hard-Hat-Mac]

Hey all I'm currently researching firewire 800 external HDs for my MBP. As far as size I'm looking at a min of 250 and max of 500.

Right now my leading canadate is this g-tech 250 drive. http://www.amazon.com/G-Tech-908002-01-250GB-External-FW800/dp/B000F49ZL6/ref=pd_bbs_4/002-6530068-5841656?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1187365390&sr=8-4

What are your thoughts?

I have the WD 500 GB MyBook Pro Edition (the one with USB 2.0, FW400, FW800) and have no complaints about it at all - tons of good reviews on buy.com as well.

Can't go wrong with Other World Computing's Mercury Elite AL series.

Do get a 500GB drive. Best bang for the buck right now.

I like LaCie's D2 Triple or Quad interface drives. Its really quiet and well built. I have 2 in within the LaCie stand thing and works great with daisychaining too.

Most music studios that I have visited, they seem to stock loads of LaCie drives.
