Hard drive system question

Hardware guru's,

I was wondering if someone could shed some light no hard drives for CREO/Windchill use?
I am looking at new systems to purchase this year and have the option of the following hard drives:

* 500 GB, 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s

* 300 GB, 15k RPM SAS 6Gb/s

* 600 GB, 10k RPM SAS 6Gb/s

* 500 GB, 10k RPM SATA 6Gb/s

What would be the order you would rank these drives?
I wish I could use a Solid State Drive, but IT will not let me pick these. 😞

Thank you,

Brian Toussaint
