Best HD for under £50?

My main desktop machine only needs a small fast but reliable HD as all my stuff is stored on my WHS machine.

I'm reluctant to go SSD due to lifespan, however my 2 Seagate 7200.11's have now died and i'm back to an old but reliable WD drive.

My motherboard only supports SATA2 so can't utilise 6Gb drives unless I get a controller which as i'm on a budget i'm reluctant to do.

So my choices as I see it are as follows :

Any thoughts on what's best?
 
How much is there between the WD blue and F3? My 2 7200.11's are still under warranty so i'm running the seatools long test to check them although they both throw up SMART errors in HD Tune Pro. So although i'll RMA them I don't want them back in a system drive. Might keep them for my WHS box though.
