What drives do you all use for NAS? (alien.top)

With black Friday sales coming up, I'm hoping to start building a NAS for my home. I have the server and stuff, but wondering which drives to get for storage.

From everything I've looked at, seems like Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red seem to be highly recommended. I'm leaning towards the Ironwolf 8TB drives right now. These are retailing for $160+tax right now, which I feel is a pretty good price to get these

However, I'm wondering if any of you experienced folks have any other suggestions for me.

Thanks!

I've got some 4Tb SAS drives and a 6tb Seagate ironwolf, need to fill out the 6tb pool but new drives aren't cheap here at the moment. 6tb ironwolfs are $250-300 where I am and not sure I want to risk data with old SAS drives from eBay etc.
