Thanks to all for your opinions. I'm definitely sticking with 15k
drives like I've done in the past for all my other servers.

The reason I considered the 10k was because of the simplicity of
ordering from the same vendor. They do offer 15k drives, but at
double the capacity I needed (73GB drives) which would make the cost
way high and overkill for what I need.
