Depends on your needs.
I've got a Western Digital 2.5'' that I use with my laptop because it works on USB power alone. It's portable, silent but not so cheap and not so fast.
I've also got a big 3.5'' external hard drive case with a 500GB disk in it. This enables me to use surplus drives I've got about and has the advantages of being faster as it's a better drive and has eSATA. On the other hand, it's noisy, cumbersome and needs external power.
