I'm running a shit show of drives at home in my pool, 4xWD 1TB black, 4xWD 2TB green (with TLER) and 4xWD 3TB reds. All are in RAIDZ and I've had no problems over the last ~2 years.
Since it's all the same pool, I can't tell you what performance will be like just on the reds, but stability wise, I've had no problems. The red series is exactly what WD recommends for 24/7 RAID operations if you don't want to pony up the extra few hundred for /proper/ enterprise drives.
