For all practical purposes, they'd all be the same. What you need to do is have enough spindles to support your environment. A long time ago, we'd run benchmarks for speed (tps) and we'd only use about 200MB of a 2G drive. Even if we had 18G drives, we'd only use 200MB. This ought to give you an idea of what's required.
