SSD over the Raptor any day. Use the SSD for the OS, and applications, and then have a large HD like the WD Black or Samsung Spinpoint F3 to store files like pictures and music on. I have a pair of SSD's, one an OCZ, the other a Patriot, and both are excellent.
As for SSD's wearing out, they do, but you really have to abuse them to shorten their lifespan considerably. The new ones have especially good 'wear-leveling' mechanisms that help maintain the drive's efficiency, along with the TRIM functionality built into Windows 7. The lifespan might be 10 years, and by that time, you'll likely have replaced the drive for a new one, like any other computer part.

^agree here.
I got 2 Vertex 2 80GB's in RAID0 and 2 Spinpoint F1's combined with 2 Spinpoint F3's in RAID5. Can you say blazing fast? On transfers between arrays I can hit up to 400-500MB/s.
If you're going for an SSD now I would go for either the new Marvell based Intels or the Sandforce 2xxx based Vertex 3. For datastorage almost any disk will do, certainly if you install your games and applications (AND WINDOWS!) to your SSD.
