Need an HDD that I can get at Best Buy

[maniacalpha1-1]

Due to Steam sales and an itchy trigger finger I need more space. In order to avoid shipping damage I just want to buy an HDD that I can get at Best Buy in-store, which basically amounts to Seagate Barracudas and Western Digital Caviar Blue, Black and Greens.

I currently have an OCZ Vertex 2 Windows drive and a Caviar Blue 320 and it works better than any setup I ever had before(even better than before when I was using the 320 alone). Accordingly, I am not seeking a faster drive, it just needs to not be slower, and more importantly, be quality.

I'm guessing I don't want the Greens...and the Barracuda 500GB and 1TB seem to be the best deals. Another CB 320 is the cheapest but that's less space. Just go for the storage per dollar Barracuda or stick with a Western Digital Blue or Black?
