How about the WD Red Pro? They're usually cheaper than the Black per GB if I'm not mistaken.

I'd get either the 6TB Blue or Barracuda. Whichever is cheaper/in stock/brand you trust more.

Then I'd say get the WD Blue if speed's really not important, or the Black if you'd also want the drive to be decently quick.
