LaCie cables are really short — maybe a foot. But I've got a LaCie 500GB d2 Quadra and I absolutely love it. It's a little noisy when it's doing something, but it's fast and reliable. And on top of that, it's gorgeous.
Can't really say anything about OWC hard drives. I've always stuck with LaCie, and I've never had one of their drives fail me. Ever. And I've had LaCie hard drives since 9GB was big. (Actually, I've still got that SCSI drive and it works like a charm.)
