Firewalls? No hard drives need firewalls.

The Macbook Pro will like Firewire drives more. If you have a Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro, it's got Firewire 800. If you do anything with large files (video editing, etc.), then you'll want this.

Also, Firewire is generally a better interface for Macs anyway (with respect to making backups).

I can recommend the Lacie drives. They're especially recommended for Macs. Maxtor and Seagate are other good brands.
