I'll go with Maxtor, since they bought Quantum and I've actually had a few bad drives from them back in the day. Their boxes were cool though and for the most part, they made okay stuff.
IBM had the "deathstars", but that is equal parts urban legend / fact as to how widespread the issues were.

Something that is sometimes overlooked is to try to buy different models (and/or drive brands), or to at least buy same model drives at different times or from a different seller. You don't want all the same model and batch, in case there's an issue with those and they suffer premature death at similar intervals.
(Although backup on multiple media fixes this obv).
