I have no interest in screwing around inside my computers. That's why I use Macs, so I can avoid that as much as possible

^^ Corporate talk and bull. The real world is different and I work in a computer repair centre. I'm just saying back-up everything you think is important. Something everyone should do regardless.
SSDs are faster and more reliable. Backing up is always a good idea, however.
I have an HDD in mine, purely because of cost & capacity.
On paper they may in theory be more reliable. Because there are no moving parts, and they aren't prone to be destroyed by some clumsy fool. But with anything, there are teething problems. They're the future, but i'll wait another while yet. They're still not worth it. I also don't like the idea that they're performance deteriorates after time.
Also, if your Macbook is like mine, replacing the hard drive is a pain. Mine doesn't have the slot under the battery. I have to take the entire thing apart, which when it's not your own laptop is a painful experience. Not to mention you need very specific screws to take it apart. <_<
