I have the Panasonic DVD recorder with hard drive and it works great. I have owned it for 18 months and there has been some upgrades to this model since then. The newer version has a 120gig hard drive, while mine has a 40 gig. You can record at varying qualities that will use differing amounts of the hard drive due to compression. I usually record in SP but use XP for special events. I think the newer model can record in HD digital. They cost a lot of money but work every cent. You can through away your video recorder if you get the panasonic version. Many, many, many features. The manual is over 100 pages long.
Anyway that is my recommendation.
