The biggest reason not to buy an internal hard drive for an SE is, if the
thing breaks, your whole machine is down while the drive is being fixed. 
For the most part.  'Course, if you like opening your own case, you can
just take the drive out yourself, put the machine back together, and have
a one-drive SE to use.  You'll find out that's not very feasible. 
One-drive Macs are unuseable.  Buy a two-drive SE and an external drive. 
Should the drive be out of commission, you still have a two drive machine
which is minimally useable.  The tradeoff here is, of course, portability. 
 If you need that, get an internal drive.  Examine your needs and make the 
choice accordingly.
 
BTW, you can get third party internal drives that sit inside a two-drive
machine, on top of the top floppy.  That gives portability and useability
if the drive goes south.
 
A caveat:  don't buy the SE/20 from Apple.  ALL third-party hard drives
have longer warranties and many have better support.  GCC is my favorite
of late; they're doing the Jasmine pricing/direct sales thing, but adding
the product/customer support that Jasmine has abandoned of late.  Chuq von 
Rospach tells me that Jasmine got to be popular a few years ago when GCC
was having problems with its original HyperDrive (internal) for the Plus.  
Now, it's Jasmine that's having problems and GCC that's taking over
Jasmine's market.
