If capacity and cost were not an issue, SSD.
The performance win for SSD is not raw read/write, but the
lack of seek. For some tasks (notably software compilation), this
makes it real fast. For some other tasks (such as dealing with really
big files) it is irrelevant. But it would be a consideration for me.
