Get one that has the best $ to gb ratio if you value your money.
Get one from a decent local pc store if you value your time.
Get one with more warranty if it'll be used more frequently.
And no, there arent any know deathstars on the market right now, unless there are still some 7200.11 floating around with old firmware.

Furthermore, it does matter on what you pick and it's your money to do whatever you want with it. Obviously you want the best bang for your buck but you want it to be reliable, durable and good performance ... yes? Then do some research and it doesn't hurt to ask people.

How much? If it's less than 200 US dollars then go for the 3TB, if not then go for the 2 TB. The 2 TB is about 130 US dollars so that's a really good bang for everything you're looking for.
