Western Digital or IBM makes great ATA-66 drives.  Maxtor's are good
also.  ATA-66 really isn't faster than ATA-33 at all, it was designed
for more file stability in mind.  But most new ATA-66 drives are
coming with 7200rpm, 2MB cache and that's where the speed increase is
seen.  So make sure they have 7200rpm and a 2MB cache.
