I recommend Western Digital. Element or Passport doesn't matter. Just go with whatever's cheaper. I think you can find 2TB on sale for $50-60 quite frequently.

Note:
Any drive can fail. Make sure you backup.

P.S. If you're in the US, I think WD also has the EasyStore which I believe is pretty much the same as the Element except branded exclusively for Best Buy.
