Replacement HD for MBP

i have mid-2009 13" mbp need replace hd in, since mine died. hard drive out there recommend? want in new hd is:

1. quality , longevity - want hd going last me unitl whole comp in few years

2. performance - want fast hd allow me put heavy load on machine , not cook it. know of relies on processor , ram , such, want hd give optimum performance.

3. price - don't know kind of price i'm looking at, if can keep around $100, that'd awesome i'm poor college student.

don't need biggest hd, mine 160gb, if can little bigger without spending of tuition money i'd because photography takes lot of room.

also, how 5400 , 7200 rpm hd's perform differently? higher rpm hd worth money things using (basic storage, school projects, photo processing , photoshop, , other basic video , audio processing)?

imparting mac-wisdom unto me, appreciated!

 

for under $100 i'm pretty sure can hard drive on market... when going upgrade, looking @ segate momentus xt , western digital scorpio black. think 7200 worth money considering have buy new hard drive (but wouldn't upgrade existing hardware).
