We're a non paypal organization so EBAY is mostly out of the question. The closest thing to what we need will be from MacSales as they have a 120G with a warranty. We have never ordered from them before so keeping our fingers crossed.

Seagate is the way to go; they are a solid company and stay ahead of the curve on innovation. Aside from the Raptor, Western Digital has not produced anything exciting. Also, the Seagate reputation with system builders is above average - less returns.

OEM harddrives from Seagate get a 3 year warranty. That's plenty. In 3 years you would not even be able to get these harddrives for a warranty replacement. Additionally, your laptop being already old, will be obsolete by then.

Save your money, buy OEM and be happy.
