Since they're all about the same price and capacity, I'd go with the rugged orange one for that whole "peace of mind" thing in case when she drops it.

Yup. Plus, it's orange. It'll match the icon, sort of! And I like LaCie. They're a good brand (if sometimes pricey).

Well the iomega has some sort of drop protection, I imagine for parking the heads.
