SSD's are way more expensive and you can get a better hard drive with a better memory at the same price. Also, SSD's aren't really reliable because it only gives its best performance when it's new. After weeks of using it, it will start to fail. When an SSD fails, it doesn't give any warning and will result in total data loss, unlike an HDD which will give you time to back up your files. In other words, it's kind of unfair right now to choose between the two since both have strengths and weaknesses, but as of right now, I'd choose a hard drive.
