In general, a drive model getting an RPM speedup will benefit more than extra cache.

Tim, do you know which would help more, 16 meg cache, or 7200 rpm speed?

It depends on the cache algorithm. On desktop drives, I've read that WD has the best algorithm, so their 8MB cache outdoes a lot of other 16MB caches.
