They're both "general use" drives, neither optimized for RAID or Performance. Both are 7200rpm, and both are fairly reputable brands.

I have one of each in my rig, and neither have presented any issues.

Given their pretty much comparable, yet you can get 50% more storage out of the Seagate, I'd suggest you go for that one.
