I'm not asking for a specific endorsement, but should I be considering
something like the seagate ironwolf or WD red drives?

You need two qualitative features from HDD for RAID usage:
1) being failfast (TLER in WD talk), and
2) be designed to tolerate vibrations from other disks in a box.

Therefore you need _at least_ WD Red or alternative from Seagate. Paying more can only bring you quantitative benefits AFAIK. Just don't put desktop drives in RAID.

(Sorry for being off-topic, but after some long recent discussions I don't feel as guilty. :) )
