In my opinion I would say that an external HDD is your best option for backing up media. It allows you to keep it in a central location and it is always there when needed, since you'll most likely be uploading through the computer you'll be wanting to connect it to. Portable HDD's, would not be a good option in my opinion- if you are planning it to be your main backup drive. Now I could certainly see making copies of the media to a portable flash drive if you need to take it elsewhere and share. You certainly would not want to lose your main backup while carrying it around, this way if you carry a copy on your flash drive and happen to lose it just go back to your external and no biggie. As far as size is concerned, the 250GB should be plenty big for just plain pics and low resolution videos. If you happen to take high resolution pics/videos and perhaps use photo software to spiffy them up, then a bigger size is of course a no brainer. I would also take into consideration of the costs of each as well, it's all personal preference.
