I think your request lacks at least one critical consideration: What is
the cost of down time?
You've got a RAID1 setup now, so I have to assume that you've decided at
some point in the past that

I have seen significant improvement when virtual machine disks are on
their own spindle/ssd. I would add an SSD and put the VM's on it.

Oops, sorry, you asked for disk choice.
Choose different vendor, same size for data... Why? Different time before

Also, double check temp which it can work at, and check where
I use 1 ssd for OS. With my own automation for deployment.
And sata drives swraid5 with data partition.
And cache ssd for filesystem used on a raid'ed fs and enabled compression...
But you need to choose your own "freak" level, you would enjoy having on
