Sorry, but I'll have to definitely disagree with you on this one. While the point you made may be true, I don't think you'll generally have both components go bad on you, so most likely you'll still be just dealing with one company, whether for the hard drive or the enclosure.
Another thing is external hard drives generally only have a one year warranty, whereas if you buy an OEM hard drive, you'll have at least a three year warranty (or five years for Seagates).
Generally you can get a hard drive and enclosure separately for cheaper than a prebuilt unit as well.
