Purples would most likely be better long term.

Not if the data is important - purples are CCTV drives.
Ideally you would get WD gold - which are enterprise rated drives

Is the data important though?? Gold's are overkill if the data is not important. I still stand by the purple for the requirements stated.
I'm presuming it's sequential data, then if so then purple.
Golds (now renamed ultrastars) are more suited to random IO such as database operations with high queue requests, dam good drives however I use gold's on my software dev workstation, In the history of HDD's WD Golds are probably the best sata HDD's drives ever made.
For best reliability all HDD's should have some gentle cooling (air) passing over them.

Why all sort of different rated drivers, why is there not a drive that is simply, reliable and good performance?

They have different CPU/Cache and firmware's and some have specific functions for Raid like TLER (Error Recovery).
