If you're building something like a file server with mirrored, Raid 3 or 5 protection, i'd go with SCSI but Enes is right, otherwise ATA, IDE drives. They are super cheap. I believe most of them nowdays are 7,200rpms. SCSI is expensive but if you have the hardware, then i guess run them. At a workstation level, SCSI just isn't common. For the cost of what you'd have into a 36G SCSI option, you could have 80+ GB in the other option. I just bought 2 Maxtor 80GB drives for work here from CDW for $70.00 each.
