As I understand it, your options are limited more by the physical size of the drive itself; it has to be no more than 9.5mm (I'm pretty sure it's 9.5mm) in height. Any higher, and it won't fit. There was another post on this subject very recently; do a search.

Yup. Any 9.5mm 2.5" drive will fit in the iBook. Seeing that most 2.5" inch drives today are of the 9.5mm variety (I haven't seen a 12.5mm thick drive in ages), almost anything you can buy will fit.
The largest 9.5mm drive you can get right now is the Hitachi (formerly IBM) Travelstar 80GB 80GNX. I seem to remember that Googlegear.com sells it for less than US$300.

Until we get a 3 lbs sub-PowerBook, the 12-inch PowerBook will do.

And here's the instructions for doing it. Schedule some time, it can be time consuming to swap it out.

FWIW, 40GB is *lots* of space. The disk formatted to 37.1GB, I have both OS X and OS 9.2 installed, the entire contents of my original iBook hard drive (3GB), the OS X development tools, and 3.95GB (about 40 albums) of music and I still have 26.3GB left.
I recommend www.4allmemory, where I got both my memory and HD upgrades - good prices, fast delivery.
