Which 2 bay would you pick between
QNAP TS-251 : (Celeron vs Marvell so probably better performance)
DS216: Aroundd the same price as the QNAP above (Is a Synology Marvell better than a QNAP celeron?)
DS216j - Around 30% lower price (Has a slightly lower clock speed but the price diff is substantial)

Anything else that I should consider?

TS251 because it has 2 gigabit ports, HDMI out and XBMC so you can use it has a media player.

Best NAS is DIY Freenas box. Beats all the competition. Lookup freenas forums for some hardware recommendation.
