i honestly don't know of a "bad" choice for an enclosure.  i have used several different ones without any problems, a laptop drive in an enclosure with Knoppix (or Apologetix <shameless plug>) is a wonderful thing.

as far as finding a good one, eBay is your friend.  i typically pick them up (new laptop enclosures) for >$20.
