I vote for IBM, then west digital, then maxtor.  In my experiences, I have 
had the least problest with IBM, then WD, and the most with Maxtor that any 
other brand.  I have faced stability more problems with mixing brands of HD's 
with Maxtor than any other.  However, if I were certain that I would never 
attach another brand to IDE chain, I wouldn't be concerned.
