Subjective but still valuable questions

I stumbled across this question on Which HDD brand do you ..trust which was closed due to the subjective nature of it. While I agree it is subjective, I can't help but wonder where so valuable a question such as this would fit in the Stack Exchange network of sites?

Despite the subjectivity of the above question, it is still a very legitimate concern for anyone constructing a computer, because let's be honest, some hardware manufacturers really do suck- and with something so crucial as a disk drive it pays to be informed.

I'm not proposing that subjective questions like these be allowed on Super User, I'd just like to know if there is anywhere they would be allowed. Is this sort of question a better candidate for a separate Area 51 site?
