What about Fujitsu drives?  I've had a very good experience with those.

These are the models I have (old):

ad0: 3093MB <FUJITSU MPB3032ATU> [6704/15/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33
ad1: 1040MB <M1614TA> [2114/16/63] at ata0-slave using WDMA2
 
ad0 is from 1998, and ad1 is from 1996.  Fujitsu's also seem much quieter
than other ATA drives.
