I always a fan of not over buying on extra disk space. by the time you are able to fill it, something faster, cheaper, or with a new port will be out.
That said, the synology is great for the cloud storage and being able to raid the disks to get great speed. I'd personally go with a synology disk station with 4 disk capacity, get 3 fast-as-you-can-afford 1TB drives (ideally SSD) and RAID 5 em. then you get 2TB total, super fast speed, and redundancy, plus the cloud capabilities of the synology which are pretty awesome. You can add more/bigger disks as you need them too.
The only downside is the price, the diskstation itself is running just under $300 on B&H right now, plus another $120 or so each for decent drives.
