Both actually look quite good.
No Reallocated Sectors, which is the biggest flag of a dying HDD. A few raw read errors on the 500GB drive, but that can be caused by anything, such as a corrupted file, so that's not necessarily indicative of much.
The 320GB drive looks to have slightly less wear, overall, but both are in "Good" health. Though a HDD can drop dead on you without warning - but there's no signs that either of these will die anytime soon.
If you don't need the extra space, use the 320GB drive. But if you need that extra space, the 500GB drive should be okay.
