Hello,
I couldn't find any more appropriate place on the forum, so apologies if I misplaced my query.

I would like to equip my laptop with Blu Ray external drive, to easily watch & rip my collection of BR movies (including potentially 3D BR).

Having looked at various fora and stores, there seem to be two options:
1) External Blu-Ray
----(A) Samsung SE-506AB
----(B) Pioneer BDR-XD04T

2) Internal Blu-Ray + External Enclosure
----Pioneer BDR-2208 + external enclosure (e.g. Vantec NST-530SU)

Choosing Internal BR + enclosure gives you higher specs (compatible with BD-R LTH + higher writing speed), but is much bulkier, and the need to use an enclosure creates additional potential failure (and incompatibility) point.

I would appreciate if you could share your opinions. Which one would you choose/recommend for the maximum compatibility and reliability? If external drive, which of these two would be your choice?

Thank you for help!
