Performance-wise the 150GB model is the best, but obviously hugely expensive. For ultimate performance you want 4 Raptor 150s in RAID0 or 0+1. That's some serious speed, but serious cash. In RAID0, you could be pushing 330MB/s, very close to the S-ATA2 boundary.
However, for those on planet earth, the best option is to get a big storage hard disk like a 250GB Samsung Spinpoint, and a 36 or 74GB raptor to store windows and program files. Windows will load in the blink of an eye, practically, especially if you've a good processor and enough RAM. 2GB with a dual core CPU is as good as you get. 4GB is unnecessary atm, but will become more a necessity with Vista, 8GB becoming reasonable within a year of Vista's release.
