> Would you want an enclosure with SCSI drives or SATA drives?

how much money you got? Unless you are running a fortune 1000 or better operation SATA should more than cut it.

> the 7200 3Gb drives for maximum performance?

define "maximum". With a RAID controller that doesn't stink and enough spindles the 300GB drives should be quite sufficient. depends on how much $ you have. You don't have to have an external storage chassis. You can convert that GNBD server to an iscsi head just with some software.
