Should I go and buy a Maxtor Onetouch III 500gb 7200rpm/16mb cache external hard drive or should I go fickle and buy an internal+external enclosure? (130 ~ 200 bucks)

Both roughly costs the same but depending on what hard drive I put into the enclosure one, the warranty will be a huge factor (Seagate has like 5 years warranty while Maxtor has 1)

Also, I am looking into other brands like Western Digital, SimpleTech and Lacie but I read reliability isn't good or performance is choppy.

I'd like to hear some opinions about the said companies states above.

p.s.
I've had Maxtor drives for ages and found them to be quite durable and long lasting (hopefully they stay that way even after the Seagate acquisition)
