The difference in performance is negligible, except on the most stressed applications. I think the bigger issue is long term reliablity and cost. Even IBM said, then retracted, that their IDE drives should only be run 8 hrs a day. Not ideal for a server.
We've got both, and have had no problems with the WD IDE drives. Our test boxes all run IDE, and they have been very reliable.
