That particular drive is an easy decision, Nora, since it won't fit
in your MBP.
Most (all?) laptops require 2.5" drives (some smaller) so you
should be looking in the "Laptop Drives" section of newegg.
I would definitely go with a 7200 RPM drive and nothing slower.
There are bigger drives but right now the largest 7200 2.5" is a
750 GB one like this:

That particular one has a 5-year warrantee, making it an even
better deal.
If you need more space than that, you can replace your optical
drive with another hard drive (or Solid State Drive for much better
performance) and get a bunch more space.
Carrying the world around on your laptop may be akin to putting all
your eggs in one basket, however, so you may just consider a large
external drive for the stuff you don't need ALL the time.
Which MBP version do you have?
