SSD is the only way to go...  faster boot, quieter, longer hard drive life... spend the extra money and go that route...

SSDs aren't that much, jesus christ. Get 256GB Samsung 840 Pro.

It's not for me, it's for a gift, a MacBook Pro in fact. 

I am leaning towards the SSD.

what's more important to the receiver: speed and performance or total storage volume?

What's more important to me, the person that will have to pay for it if it breaks (or has to buy the extra coverage) is that it's durable.  Thus the SSD is the way I am leaning.

I have no experience with internal SSD's and haven't bothered to look up what people think, so that's one of the reason why I am asking you youngsters.

everyone should get hard, imo.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

SSD for sure. It's not that much more.
