I suspect the internals of the optical drives are only made by a few manufacturers, whilst there are thousands of brands on amazon the difference will largely be styling/branding. I would just buy the cheapest and treat as disposable but LG is a solid brand.
Hard drives are so cheap on a per gig basis that it rarely makes sense to recycle old hard drives.
As for ripping cds - what is this, the 90s 😄
