I can highly recommend Micropolis drives as well.  I have used quite a number
and have never had one failure.  They publish an MTBF of over 55,000 hours
on their 1320 series (85 MB), and MTBF of over 32,000 hours on the 1350
and 1370 series (135 MB and 170 MB).  I've only used the 1325 models.
Your mileage may vary...
