Really it's personal preference. I prefer WD simply because I've always had good drives from them.
As for your second question, you can format it to fat32 right in windows:

Then select what you need to from there.

from my research to my understanding you can only format 32gb Hdds or less to fat32 using windows but I can't find a definite way of getting all 500gb to fat32

That limitation is just a windows limitation, depending what brand you go with, they do have tools on their website to partition and format the drive. Sorry that was something that slipped my mind when i made that original post.
