If you don't already have the optical drive and HDD.
Go ahead and go with SATA drives. Lite-On is good for optical drives and Seagate is one of the best.

Wow... I never had any problems with Lite-On so far... NEC is a good brand too... so if you don't have any problems with them... just stick with it.
