Both of my CD drives have mysteriously died on me within the last week or 2 (They were pretty old...7 years).

I was hoping some of the people here could help me make a choice that won't leave me wanting to throw a computer through a wall sometime in the next 2-5 years.
All of these are from newegg.com, and seem to have about the same specs. I just can't decide what is the best/most reliable:
