HDD inches wich to choose

Solution
I'd always go for a 3.5" drive in a desktop-class system when there's a suitable drive bay available - the performance is better. The only reason to use a 2.5" drive (apart from only having 2.5" bays) is to save a few watts of power at the expense of performance.

You should be fine with either Seagate or WD - I've never had issues with either of them.
