Which Raptor 10K to buy for Mac Pro?

I have one Raptor now in my G5. I'm thinking of taking it out and using it in a Mac Pro to run OS X. I'd like to have a second Raptor for a *NIX ditribution on the same MP. Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a good / bad idea and which Raptor(s) would be most appropriate for my needs?

Thx.

It's a fine idea, and there are only 3 Raptors to choose from: 36GB ($100), 74GB ($155 less $20MIR), and 150GB ($200 less $30MIR). Given the way the prices are, I'd go with the 150GB.

edit: Oh yea, there's the 150GB Raptor X, which adds a window for $5. Not worth it in my opinion.
