WD7500AAKS vs. HD753LJ vs. ST3750330AS

I'm in the process of deciding which of the following drives would be the better option for me. The primary use of the drive would be storage of large video files (2~10 GB x264 mkv's) and subbed anime. It would be placed in an external enclosure with eSATA, either the AMS Venus DS3 or the Rosewill RX-358-S; they both have fans, but I would prefer to have a cooler drive so it would last longer. I don't want a single 500GB, but maybe 2x500GB would be the better option as the price premium on 1TB drives is too much for my needs. Which drive from the above (WD7500AAKS, HD753LJ, ST3750330AS) or any others would you guys recommend as the best price/performance option for my needs.

The WD7500AAkKS is a 750gb model by WD there. That was one thought for an internal storage drive here until the initial word on the WD Green Power 1tb was seen. So I guess I'm not alone looking at those for storing large or large numbers of files for storage and backup.

WD is of course the preference here over other makes. If this was a poll you would see one vote for WD already. Samsung? No Way! On the other hand there's a great review seen on the Seagate model you name there seen at http://www.pcsforeveryone.com/Product/Seagate/ST3750330AS
