The models I mentioned?
Talking only original DEC disks for the moment, I have some rebadged
Seagates and some rebadged Quantums, though more of the former than the
latter. The only disk I've ever had fail was a rebadged Seagate
Barracuda (2 GB). Small-number statistics, of course. Is the
traditional wisdom Seagate better than Quantum better than Connor borne
out by the experience of others here?

Not the models you listed. Older Quantums (1 - 4GB, especially the
DEC-designed DSP models, are all still running, though some are quite
noisy. I've had a couple older Seagate rebadges fail (ST15150N/W),
and one ST19171WC/RZ1DB unit. Newer disks: mostly Seagate, all still
running.
