5TB drives are coming: you'd better to wait a while, you'll gain either better prices or more capacity.

At any rate, IMHO as for your needs there's no actual difference between Greens and Reds, just WD Reds are higher rated for reliability/longevity (BUT in a NAS environment): and take a look at latest SPCR review on Seagate 4TB NAS drives.
