I can't find much info on recommending an internal blu-ray drive.
Should be good for watching and ripping movies. Burning is not so important.
 
I've had a standard LG burner for about 1-2 years. No problems. The readers I think are down in the $40-50 range now.

For ripping, assuming you are ripping to H264, you will only see 20-30FPS while ripping, which even at 20Mbps is a whopping 2.5 megabytes per second of data being pulled from media. Assuming you rip straight from the media. I think Slysoft AnyDVD can extract a full bluray (30-40GB) from my drive in like 45 minutes.
 
readers are a little cheaper than that now on sale. I got one for $25 the other month from newegg (looks to be gone now), but if you are ripping you are going to want a fast reader which is more expensive. If you aren't worried about burning I would just get this drive. It sometimes goes on sale for $35.
