If you could get 6 160GB hard drives or one 1TB drive which would you get?

1 1Tb Drive

 

Why would you want 6 160gb drives- sure you could raid 0 them but id rather just use an SSD or 2x 1tb drives in raid

you are just occupying your drive bays and sata ports with crap drives

Get a single 1TB. Having more drives increases the likelihood of one of them dying, reduces space, less noise and less power consumption.
