The only time I've had drives from either company fail was when I knocked my drive cage off the desk while it was running; they've all been very reliable otherwise. Seagate drives are usually less expensive, though.
In active service I currently have 5 WD CMR drives, 1 WD SMR drive, 5 Seagate CMR drives, and 2 Seagate SMR drives. I also have 1 WD drive in storage. All WD drives are "Red" (the CMR ones now being called "Red Plus"), the CMR Seagate drives are "IronWolf", and the SMR Seagate drives are "Barracuda". My oldest WD drive is from 2018 and my oldest Seagate drive is from 2020.
