Best Storage (HDD) - WD vs Seagate vs Hitachi

Best Storage (HDD) - WD vs Seagate vs Hitachi - 7200rpm, 3tb

For my next custom build, I done a lot of research into storage for my PC. Since I use it for editing (AE, 3DS Max, SVP...) and gaming, I was wondering what the best HDD would be between the three brands. I know that I should get a 7200 rpm drive, most likely with 3tb worth of storage. Im also going to get an SSD for my os and some games, so which HDD is the most reliable. Btw, Ive seen the Black Blaze results but then again Ive also heard people say that the Hitachi DeskStar was called the "DeathStar" for being unreliable. In general, price is 'kinda' an issue since I have to get two 3tb drives (Games and Mass Storage). I was also looking at these three options:

WD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/WD-3-5-inch-Internal-Hard-Drive/dp/B00FJRS628/ref=pd_rhf_eeolp_s_cp_4_YKJJ?ie=UTF8&refRID=14Q7P4W12A10112JV76B
Seagate: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-7200RPM-Cache-SATA3-Drive/dp/B006KCX0UE/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1432925098&sr=1-1&keywords=seagate+3tb
HGST: http://www.amazon.co.uk/HGST-Deskstar-inch-Internal-Drive/dp/B00HE7HG2C/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1432925087&sr=1-1&keywords=hitachi+3tb

the HGST drive seems to be a NAS drive which usually come with special firmware to reduce power and to spin down when ideal.

I would recommend not to uses a NAS drive as your primary drive.

Thanks, appreciate the help Do you have a preference between either one then because WD is much more expensive but has a longer warranty than Seagate. Cheers
