I think I can spring the extra $15 for the Red, and on your advice will do
so.
I know that at least for the mechanical spinning drives WD Reds are not
really recommended for desktop usage (only for NAS or storage). For
example, they have something called TLER (that can be disabled). But not
sure about the SSDs. I would do some research and maybe even contact
Western Digital? Not saying you shoudn't, but I would read about it a bit
first.

Another question -- really a babe in the woods here --
will I need a trick
cable or will my existing SATA cable work? I'm not seeing any pictures
that show the connections.
