Well, there aren't too many hard drive manufacturers, so there's not as much selection as there are with some other components. I've never had a problem with Quantum/Maxtor, even after Seagate bought Maxtor. However, since I've had frequent problems with Seagate (non Maxtor-branded ones) and Western Digital drives, I try to avoid them.
Thus, if I'm buying a 3.5" drive, I generally go with Maxtor. If I'm buying a 2.5" drive, such as for my laptop or USB drive enclosure, I'll go with pretty much anything but Seagate (Hitachi, Fujitsu, etc). I don't have any experience with Samsung drives, so I can't really comment as to their quality, but the brand is pretty well-known.
